Jahlil Johnson, 22, attended Hillsborough County Public Schools and graduated from Howard W. Blake High School and Southern Technical College. He passed from this life leaving a legacy of love, faith, and light. Jahlil always served others—family, friends, and even strangers—often putting their needs before his own. He showed the purest form of love: charity, always giving from his heart and helping those in need. His goal was to be a light in the world, and he knew he was called by the Most High to inspire change in his community.

Authentic and confident, Jahlil encouraged others to be bold and true to themselves. He often said, “Change is necessary” and “The old me has to die,” living with repentance and keeping the Father first. A peacemaker with a heart of gold, he worked tirelessly, using his pain as fuel to grow.

His presence lit up any room—his smile, laughter, and energy were contagious. Intelligent, humble, and musically gifted, he was a leader, a deep conversationalist, and a spirit uplifter. Family-oriented, respectful, and genuine, he accepted people at their lowest and helped them rise.

An inspiration to many, the love he gave will be felt for a lifetime. We rejoice knowing we will see him again in spirit. All praises to the Most High for the gift of Jahlil—our amazing son, our brother, our joy, our light.
