I'm heartbroken to hear of your passing Brian. Thank you for the huge influence you had over me as a wacky teenager and insecure young adult. Thank you for the leadership you instilled in me both as a teen and young adult helping with YAC and AYC. I'll forever remember your laughter, your heart, and your deep faith in Christ. Rest Easy sweet friend!

This guy....I'm heartbroken to hear of his death. He was influential in my teen years and again post college. He helped me find my voice and my faith. Brian Johnson, I'll never forget you, your crazy antics, your jokes, your laugh, or your heart. Rest easy my friend. Have fun talking to Jesus about the #2 Olympics!

My thoughts and prayers are with the Johnson family during their time of bereavement. Brian was truly and inspiration to all. He was part of the Village that mentored my son spiritually and I am forever grateful. I will always remember those spiritual filled retreats and the good times and laughter we had together.
Rest in Peace Brian Johnson

Brian was a great inspiration for our youth with his many years of dedication, especially with his work and countless hours devoted to organizing and promoting the youth conferences and mentoring youth ministers over his years.

I remember Brian's awesome faith shared at NCYC's and from his visit to the Diocese of Pittsburgh to keynote our Summer Youth Rally awhile back. He was truly a presence of Jesus who touched many lives & inspired my ministry as a younger priest in youth ministry.
May the angels lead you into paradise.
May the martyrs come to welcome you and take you to the holy city, the new and ETERNAL JERUSALEM!
