We still miss you very much and hope you enjoy what Kenny and Steve have been doing in your absence. Just one of your many 10 percenters.

Thank you for the laughs John, the Walton and Johnson show helped me get through my Tour of Duty in New Orleans while I was going to dental school. Every little bit helped during those tough years. Warren Thomas, D.D.S.

The world will miss you John Walton. That may be a lie. Most of the south will miss you. I remember getting into plenty of arguments with people over whether or not I listened to you on Q93. I'm 38, I have listened to y'all literally as long as I can remember. You being gone is truly feels like a piece of my soul is missing. I don't think I will ever be able to form my own opinions ever again. You will never be forgotten because now every day will feel like a Saturday.

You and your show enriched my life. I have laughed for countless hours, cried, giggled at inappropriate times, used you as a parenting tool, sang along, been inspired and moved to action by your philanthropy. Even though we never met and only corresponded a handful of times I considered you a friend. Thank you for all that you did, said, gave, inspired and continue to inspire. You are truly missed. I ❤WJ ~ Lay

We lost one of the best. Never met him in person but considered him a good friend through years of dedicated listening. I know Mr. Johnson will continue to preach the truth. My family and I will always be praying for you all especially during your time of bereavement. Stay strong, the Good Lord got him a good one!! We'll see him again one day.

I never met John, but was a regular listener for many years in Baton Rouge and thanks to the internet. His wit and common sense will be missed. My condolences to his family and those lucky enough to have worked with him. Long live Walton and Johnson, the Next Generation!

Sadly hearing of John's passing was shocking. I became a listener a few years ago and never stopped laughing at this man's keen wit and satire with Steve. Condolences to his family staff and listeners.

Your wit, wisdom and humor got me through many dark times and I am forever grateful. I never met you but listening for 20 plus years I feel as if I have lost a family member. You were truly the last of your kind in the business. Rest in peace

Like many, I never actually met John, but through the Walton and Johnson show, I had the privilege of spending thousands of hours with him. I started listening to John and Steve with my dad riding with him to work. He went home to be with the Lord 9 years ago, but I continued to listen. Now with the loss of John, it's like losing another member of my family and someone that I looked up to. I'll miss your wit, your sarcasm, your great laugh and your ability to bring clarity to the ever crazy culture that we find ourselves in.

Decades ago my husband would tell this New Orleans girl Brooke you have to listen to these guys. I avoided listening for a few years but found the app and never missed a show from up here in Virginia. I felt punched in the gut on hearing of Mr Walton's death and know those that knew him personally must be devastated. Thanks for the good sense and good laughs

Our mornings will never be the same. He was brilliant and funny. Hugs to his family. Although most of the 10%ers never met him, we all felt like he was indeed our family and we will miss him terribly. RIP...

I met John many years ago at a Houston radio station. He was mysterious and intimidating...for the first few years that I was around him. Later, I had the pleasure of working with John & Lainie and found him to be funny, kind and loyal! A few things I learned about John over the years; he LOVED his wife, LOVED his family, LOVED his job, LOVED animals and LOVED his life in Fulshear! I'm thankful to have known him. He was one of a kind and he will be missed!

John was such a wonderful person. I know he will be missed by so many. Lainie, my prayers are that you and the family can find peace and comfort during this time of grief.
