Support for the Johnson's
Donation protected
There are few things more devastating than the unexpected passing of a loved one, especially of someone with such zest and passion for life as Andy Johnson.
To many of us who grew up with him, he was a second father, eccentric loving uncle, brother or friend, and tireless jokester. Always willing to lend a hand, his dedication extended beyond his beautiful family and touched the lives of many. In an age where it’s too easy to get bogged down by the mundane hustle and bustle of life, Uncle Andy never lost sight of what is truly important as so many of us do; community, genuine connection and love. From camping trips and long mini-bus rides filled with laughter, to investing in his local town, Devizes, of which he so recently became Mayor, his desire to inspire joy and change people's lives for the better rang true with his every step. It comes with great sorrow that his contribution to the town he cared for dearly has been cut short. With his sudden passing, I’m sure we speak for many when we say that he has left an imprint on our hearts that will remain with us always.
He has left behind his wife, Kayoko, children, Ruth and husband Danny, Daniel and wife Anna, and Seijin, along with his first grandchild, Nova.
Beyond the heartbreak and grief of losing a loved one comes the overwhelm and confusion of organising funerals, sorting through the end-of-life bureaucracy and trying to figure out how to cope with one beloved family member gone.
There are countless ways to show love and support, and as we hear and experience on the daily, this year has been unprecedented in the challenges it has brought worldwide. For those of you who are able and feel compelled to support financially, we want to invite you to help us raise money in support of the additional upcoming challenges and life changes the Johnson’s are facing.
The money will be put towards the funeral, public transportation needs for Kayoko and Seijin since neither drive and live in a village, additional care for Seijin who lives with autism to create extra time and space for the family to make funeral arrangements, and further support needs while the legalities of end-of-life circumstances are settled.
For those who want to support but are currently unable to aid financially, if you have special messages for Andy or his family, or have advice concerning the step-by-step process of funerals and legal matters, please email [email redacted].
