Johnathan "Bubba" Luna

Born on November 22, 2000, Bubba was a vibrant light in the lives of all who knew him. From a young age, he carried an unmistakable energy—one that would come to define him as a devoted son, a protective brother, a loyal friend, and a passionate lover of football. The game was more than a pastime; it was a reflection of who he was: dedicated, spirited, and all heart.

To know Bubba was to know someone who showed up. He was the friend who would drop everything without hesitation, the one who checked in at just the right moment, and the steady presence who made others feel seen, valued, and understood. He possessed a rare gift for connection, reaching people not only with his words, but with his warmth, his laughter, and a smile that could brighten even the heaviest of days.

Bubba truly lived life to the fullest. He didn’t merely pass through his days—he embraced them. Whether he was on the field giving his all, gathered around a table with family, or sharing stories with friends, he filled every moment with enthusiasm and authenticity. He believed in living with no regrets: being present, being bold, being kind. His contagious energy and generous spirit left an indelible mark on his community and on the countless lives he touched.

He is survived by his devoted parents, Cynthia and Wayne; his loving siblings, Robert, Larry, Raymond, Jacob, BJ, and Doug; his beloved grandparents, Connie and Rudy; and his cherished nieces and nephews, Isaiah, Vivian, Ivan, Olivia, Aubrey, Violet, Dom, Lily, and Kailani. Each of them carries forward a piece of his laughter, his strength, and his boundless love.

Though his time with us was far too short, Bubba’s life was rich in meaning and impact. His legacy of loyalty, compassion, and living “wide open” will continue to inspire all who had the blessing of knowing him. He will be deeply missed, forever remembered, and always loved.
