Gone too soon but not to be forgotten
PROSPECT - John Michael Johnson Jr. of Prospect, Connecticut age 26, passed away on Sunday, April 3, 2022, at the Yale New Haven Hospital.
John was born January 9, 1996, in Waterbury, the son of Terri Shea and John M. Johnson Sr. John was a graduate of Woodland High School, Class of 2014 and was currently working toward a BA in Business at The University of Johnson and Whales in Rhode Island. At the time of his passing, he was employed as a painter for many years.
John was never afraid to live life to the fullest. He enjoyed traveling, especially to places that involved nature. His hobbies included: snowboarding, skateboarding, hiking, and riding his motorcycle. He was passionate about the art of woodburning and loved attending concerts. Most of the time John could be found in his garage hanging out with friends and working on his next project. He especially enjoyed the annual family vacation trip to Rhode Island with close family and friends, which included nightly strolls to the beach. It was during these special moments with his closest friends and family that John's heart was at its happiest.
