Carl Dwayne Johnson, affectionately known as CJ, embarked on his final journey on October 25, 2025. Born on May 8, 1963, CJ graced this world for sixty-two years, leaving behind a legacy of warmth, caring, and a steadfast spirit that inspired all who crossed his path.
CJ was a dynamo of energy, taking charge of every situation with a friendly smile and an open heart. He had a unique ability to make everyone feel seen and valued with just a simple laugh or well-timed word of encouragement. This loving and relaxed demeanor made him a beloved figure in his community, where friends would often seek his wisdom or simply relish the comfort of his presence.
An avid sports enthusiast, CJ found joy in both playing and coaching baseball, demonstrating an unparalleled passion for the game that taught many young players not just how to excel but also how to enjoy the sport itself. His love for athletics extended beyond the baseball diamond; he was a fervent supporter of the Dallas Cowboys, often seen wearing their colors proudly, cheering them on with fervor. Football was more than just a sport for CJ—it was an event that brought friends and family together, creating cherished memories through laughter, camaraderie, and the thrill of competition.
In the peaceful sanctuary of his yard, CJ thrived, working diligently to cultivate beauty in every blade of grass and bloom. Gardening was not merely a hobby for him but a source of solace and reflection, a relationship with nature that complemented the way he approached life—gentle, nurturing, and always evolving.
CJ’s legacy will continue to live on through the countless lives he touched and the warmth he spread. While he may have departed this earth, his spirit remains woven into the fabric of the relationships he built and the many experiences he shared. We hold onto his memory, cherishing the lessons he imparted and the love he generously gave. May his journey ahead be filled with the same joy he brought to those fortunate enough to know him.
