Help Us Honor the Life of Alijah Johnson

Donation protected
We are deeply saddened to announce the sudden and tragic passing of Alijah Johnson (18yrs), a beloved son, brother, and father. Alijah was a kind soul with a giving nature that touched the lives of everyone around him. He was a pillar of strength and love for his family and friends, always willing to lend a hand.


Alijah's greatest joy in life was his son, Angelo, whom he loved with all his heart. Their bond was unbreakable, and Alijah's dedication to being the best father he could be was evident in every moment they shared together.


Tragically, Alijah was taken from this world far too soon by men who had no empathy for what would become of his child or the pain his family would have to endure. This devastating loss comes just weeks after the murder of Alijah's great-grandparents, compounding the grief and heartache our family is experiencing.


As we come to terms with these incomprehensible events, we are reaching out for support to cover the funeral costs and honor Alijah's memory in a way that reflects the love and kindness he brought into our lives. The beneficiary of the funds collected will be his mother, Dennyse Johnson. She will ensure that any remaining funds are put into an account for Alijah's son, Angelo, to support his future.


Any contribution, no matter how small, will be greatly appreciated and will help us give Alijah the farewell he deserves. If anyone would like to send funds directly to Dennyse Johnson, her CashApp is @DennyseJohnson.
