Hey Johnny Boy! 2ish months till you're birthday! I know we weren't friends but you were a nice kid. I was kind of hoping we would become friends since naima and jenna- yeah. I always saw a smile on you're face. Now looking back at this I'm going to try harder to look for signs and help others. I will see if I can celebrate your birthday I'll try and keep it to myself I don't want anyone to cry. Sometimes I ask myself what I would do If you had more time. im going to do some subtle digging and find out your favorite color Then Im going to give small tokens that are that color on your birthday! Well Fly high, Like I said we may have not been friends but I miss the smile you put on my friends face.

We all miss you dawg fly high in the sky ❤🕊

Johnny was a very good friend I miss him I promise I’ll remember him till the day I die no matter what he will not be forgotten

Johnny was such an amazing friend someone you could go to and whatever was going on he would always bring someone joy and keep a big smile on his face. He would always wanna play volleyball with us and that was great. I miss his laugh his laugh would always make me laugh it would make my day hearing that in the morning. I would do anything for one more call, text, or conversation again.Condolences to his family. Until we meet again johnny i miss you so much.

Johnny,

I remember this day like it was yesterday. We went to play mini golf where your dad and I had our first date. I wore blue jeans and a gray top. Daddy wore all black with these high rise socks and made fun of me for having clean white shoes. I can’t remember who won that day, but on this day, I took you and Daniel and you won as always, although you pretended to nearly lose so Daniel would feel like a big boy. You let me take a few pics of you which wasn’t normal and you had a lot of fun feeding the baby gators. You won a toy in the claw game, you always do. It was hot, you were sweating and nearly drank all the water. I took so many pictures and I’m happy I did. I always wonder if we would have done anything different knowing we would lose you at 13. I look back and really don’t know that I would. I loved you everyday and I know you know that. I would have hugged you more though, and kissed you extra. I still find myself going to your room and telling you not to sleep in too late. I remember checking on you in the night and always plugging your phone in the charger for you as you were sleeping. I love you so much Johnny. My miracle baby.

Until we meet again. 

Love mommy ❤️

Johnny was one of my many friends but his friendship was a priceless one he was a funny and joyful person who made everyone laugh he was always kind too everyone.January 24th of 2024 was a special day for me that was the day I saw him at McDonald’s I was eating with my friends and I saw him riding his bike then we went to 7 eleven and after that I invited him to my house and we played video games and went to the park then he went home…LLJ❤️🕊️

Condolences to his family and his friends

Johnny was such a good friend he always bring happiness around and he will always make everybody laugh with his jokes. He was such a good person. It’s very sad to see him go love and miss a lot.

My goofy, clever, handsome, and abnormally strong nephew, as the days pass it’s not getting any easier to accept that I won’t see you again in this life but every wave of grief is followed by the comfort of being reminded that you are completely whole, lacking nothing, and within the perfection of Gods everlasting love. This picture was my favorite of you for the longest time and I love that I can come back to it and it always makes me smile. I love you Johnny. I look forward to when I can see you and laugh with you again 🤍 love Titi Tori

i will always miss johnny i was so shocked and trying not to cry when i got the news that he passed i want to pay my respects to him and his family he was in my math and band class last year and i will never miss him for the way he was always thinking about others and being a funny guy

Johnny,
You were such a good friend.  I will really miss you - especially how you made me laugh when we played volleyball.  You always managed to hit the ball so "crazy".  Also, I will miss your beautiful smile and your curly hair.

Love Chanel

Im always going to miss the time we spent together but my favorite memories with him were when we would hang out it was the most fun I had ever had in my life he always made me smile and laugh and was always there for me I'm going to miss him so much I remember one time me and him we're hanging out and we went to the rec center with his friend aiden and it was so fun and we all had a great time he had taken so many videos

Johnny and family, we are so very sorry to hear of Johnny Jr’s passing. Sending prayers for peace and comfort  in the days to come. God bless you all.

I'm one of Johnny's friends/classmate at discovery middle school and I'm so sorry about this whole thing that happened about his passing and that he was a really funny class clown he made a lot of people laugh including me and always made my day also some phrases he said that i will always remember is "miss how's your day"or "who's better sasuke or Naruto" most iconic phrases he ever said and also he was very kind, smart, and happy and that I hope he's blessed and that I hope everything goes well for the family and may god bless his family.

I was Johnnys classmate in 6th grade Ms.Maples math class. He was an amazing friend in that class and always thinking about others. He loved anime and sports and was just an all around good person to be around. Losing somebody is never easy and he will be deeply missed by all of his peers. My condolences to your family, my prayers are with you - David Romero

Johnny you were the best Grandson you were funny, respectful a pleasure to be with I always felt like a kid when I was with you we played COD you won so many times. I will Love and miss you for ever.

When we tried to make nachos late at night and they turned out tasting horrible😭🩷

I'm so sorry for your loss. This is Ms. O'Brien, Johnny's English Language Arts teacher at Discovery. Johnny was the only student that greeted me every morning with a "how are you?" even when he knew I wasn't always having the best day. I always appreciated his silly anime references, he often related figurative language to anecdotes from his favorite Naruto episodes. Johnny was very much a jokester and a bit of a class clown, but he was a wonderful, respectful young man. He will be missed.

Deepest sympathy and condolences of the passing of your love one. Rest in Paradise Prince.  An Explorer forever in our hearts and mind.
Mrs. Hill, Discovery Middle School.

johnny, you were a cool guy and a funny one, Without a friend like this in school there would be 10% less joy and laughter. Greatly Missed❤

Romans 8 Verses 38 to 39.

Dear Johnny, 

I miss you my little buddy. We shared some fun times during the holidays when our families would get together. 

Playing games at the pool, on the beach and racing cars on the PlayStation always tired me out with all your energy. But our  laughs and the fun we had kept me coming back for more.

Your gentle soul, big smile, and hearty appetite will always be how I most remember you. 

With Much Love
Greg

Writing this as a friend of Johnny's. He is such a good person and he was always there to talk to if you needed to talk to someone whenever. He made the time I've known him such a great time. I hope he is happier and is resting peacefully. His family deserves to rest easy knowing he is in peace. He will be missed. Rest in peace.

Hey its Johnny’s friend I hope your doing ok, school feels so empty without Johnny always making people laugh including me but god will take care of Johnny and he will be watching over you guys 🕊️💔

To Johnny’s family

My dear friend [Johnny Ruiz ], I still can't believe you're gone. The world seems a bit emptier without your infectious laughter and your incredible kindness. I feel so blessed to have called you my friend, and I am forever grateful for the precious time we spent together. I will continue to miss you and pray for your family. But you know, Long Live Johnny💔🕊️

I have tried multiple times to write this! My heart is filled with so many sweet and beautiful memories of you. I want to be selfish and keep them all to myself. I loved cooking for you and will forever miss you asking “Is Teka restaurant still open?” Lol and me telling you “No, it’s closed for the night but will be open in morning.” lol I pray that you are resting peacefully and you are more free of pain. Love so much, Teka and Grandpa Jelani
