Dear Family and Friends, My name is simon from Simon says Bnc . With broken hearts, we share that Johnny tragically passed away last night in a car accident. His loss leaves a space that words cannot fill.
Johnny was a truly great human being. From the time we knew him, he quietly supported so many people, charities, small businesses, and families across the Perth community. He never wanted recognition—whenever we tried to thank him, he would simply smile and say, “Nope.”
Now, after his sudden and heartbreaking passing, we finally have the chance to speak about the kindness he showed in silence. Johnny was always there for our community free meal program, giving and sharing without hesitation.
At the request of his family, we are helping to organise this GoFundMe to support Moana and the family during this difficult time. As a small business and as people who saw Johnny as a brother, we also want to honor him in a special way: we will be launching a dish in his name, with 100% of the proceeds donated directly to his family.
This is our way of remembering Johnny—not only as a customer, not only as a supporter, but as a brother who gave so much of himself to others.
We invite you to join us in honoring Johnny’s life. Whether by donating here, sharing this campaign, or simply remembering him with kindness in your heart, you are helping continue the spirit of generosity that defined him.
From His Wife Moana
"" Johnny was a devoted husband who always put others before himself. He had the biggest heart and touched everyone he met—always ready with his signature bear hug or a phone call if you needed him. He loved old school cars, shopping online, telling inspiring stories, and spending time with his true best friends—his dogs and cats, often with a beer in hand in the backyard.
Johnny wasn’t just a loving husband, but also a proud dad, stepdad, and granddad. He gave back to his community, supporting charities and small businesses like Hey Perth and Simon Says. His presence lit up every room, and life will never be the same without him.""
We have created this GoFundMe to support Moana and the family through this difficult time. Donations will go toward funeral and memorial expenses, and to help ease the financial burden as they begin to navigate life without Johnny.
If you are able, please consider contributing. No amount is too small—every gesture of love helps. If you cannot donate, we kindly ask you to share this page with others who may wish to honor Johnny.
Thank you for your compassion, love, and support as we remember Johnny’s incredible life.
I (Simon) personally thank everyone for their support. and I hope in that last second of his life - he was happy.. i went through the tunnel of life and death few times. So i pray that he chose the right path for his soul. I bless him from my souol and heart.
