The world lost the coolest kid on earth on November 13, 2015, and I am proud to say that cool kid was my grandson. John “Jay” Skylar Johnson was born September 1st, 1998 in Beaver, Pennsylvania to John Nicholas Johnson and Candice Zuback.

Jay will be best remembered by his quick wit, his compassion for life, and a love for his family and friends. Jay had a way with words; he could uplift anyone around him with his compassionate words and empathy for others. He had a passion for his music, in which he loved to share with others.

Jay is survived by his sister Kaya Lincoln, parents, grandparents, and great grandmother and many uncles, aunts, cousins and endless friends…He was preceded in death by his beloved grandfathers and cousin Billy. We will miss his sunny smile and bright laughter.

A Celebration of Life will be held at the Elks Lodge in Oak Harbor Washington on Sunday, November 22nd, 2015 at 2pm. A Go-Fund-Me account to assist the family with expenses is set up in the name of Vivid Change, which was Jay’s Facebook page.

Jay’s favorite saying was “If I Shine, We all shine." I ask you all to do that in his name and please attend the Celebration of Life. Jay would want it that way.
