  10. I didn't know Adam but you can tell that he was such a sweet, handsome, talented and loved human! Earth was better because he was on it!! So sorry to Adams family and friends!! It's so hard to loose such a great person!!! Rest in peace Adam!!!

  11. Some extremely moving tributes to Adam here, you all read them so well given the difficult circumstances. Having not know Adam personally, It is clear from these that he was a wonderful man. Sending love to the entire Johnson family and his fiancée Ryan from the UK hockey family, we mourn with you. May you all find strength in your darkest days. ❤️ xx

  12. You can see what this young man meant to everyone who knew him , Rest in peace Adam, I’m sure you will be lighting it up in Heaven , You will never be forgotten #47

  13. You touched our hearts Ryan! Our sincere condolences from North Carolina to you and all of you feeling heartbroken. God needed Adam. Trust. You will talk to him in a different way.

  14. Rest in peace. I hope everyone also finds peace with this as soon as they can so Adam doesn't feel tied to this earthly realm. The end result is he is gone and let us all lift him up to God and let Adam know his worries are over and we will see him again soon. All my prayers to Adam's family and friends.

  15. The little birds trust God, for they go singing

    From Northern woods where autumn winds have blown,
    With joyous faith their unmarked pathway winging
    To summer lands of song, afar, unknown

    Let us go singing, then, and not go crying
    Since we are sure, our times are in His hand
    Why should we weep, and fear, and call it dying?
    It's merely flying to a Summer Land!

  16. So much love, support, strength, prayers and hugs from all the hockey community. All my respect, support, strength. From the UK to Hibbing. Rest in Peace Adam 🙏🕊️❤❤❤❤

  17. I didn't know Adam until the awful recent events, listening to the speaches here it's obvious that he was a truly great guy and simply one of the nicest people you could ever wish to meet. The bravory his family and freinds have shown here is remarkable and I am sure he would be immensely proud of you all. Can't imagine what you are all going through. Special mention to Ryan for finding the strength to speak your words, sending you all the love and support in the world.

  18. Gosh so unbearably sad.. so much pain for so many friends and family and ice hockey people of the world.. my two sons have played their whole lives.. my eldest 29 years the same…just can’t imagine the heartbreak everyone close is going through..we have all been touched by this unnecessary tragedy, senseless tragedy..god bless everyone hurting RIP Adam Johnson ❤

  19. My condolences go to the Family, Friends, and Loved One's of Adam Johnson. In my 53 years, i cannot recall a "single event" in Ice Hockey that touched the Hearts of the World of Professional and Amateur Ice Hockey Athletes as did this unfortunate tragedy. Maybe the 1980 USA Gold Medal Ice Hockey Team 4-3 win over the Soviet Union would be a comparable single event in Ice Hockey history. God Bless Adam and may he always be remembered…

  20. Once I heard a song of sweetness,
    As it filled the morning air,
    Sounding in its blest completeness,
    Like a tender, pleading prayer,
    And I sought to find the singer,
    Where the wondrous song was born,
    And I found a bird, quite wounded,
    Pinned down by a cruel thorn,
    I have seen a soul in sadness,
    While it's wings with pain were furled,
    Giving hope and cheer and gladness
    That should bless a weeping world,
    And I knew that life of sweetness,
    Was of pain & sorrow born,
    And a stricken soul was singing,
    With its heart against a thorn
    You are told of One who loved you,
    Of a Savior crucified,
    You are told of nails that held Him,
    And a spear that pierced his side,
    You are told of cruel scourging,
    Of a Saviour bearing scorn,
    For He too died, with a brow against a thorn!
    Though your life be bruised and torn,
    While your heart is filled with pain
    Will you breathe a sweet refrain,
    And be like the bird that sang so sweetly,
    With its heart against the thorn!

    May this poem bring comfort to the many who are grieving! Brenda from New Zealand

  21. Thank you to the Johnson family for sharing this with us. Everyone who spoke showed great courage, love and pride for Adam. He clearly touched everyone he came into contact with. A very rare light in the world. His life will be an inspiration to many many more people who didn't know him. It has been a privilege to get know a little of the heart and soul of a great human being. Thank you so much.

  22. I CAN’T FIND THE PROPER WORD TO EXPRESS MY DEEPEST HEART FELT SADNESS TO THE JOHNSON FAMILY. I DID NOT KNOW HIM PERSONALLY, BUT HE WAS FROM MN & THAT’S IS WHERE I AM FROM. I WILL PRAY 🙏 FOR ALL OF YOU AND MY DEEPEST SYMPATHIES TO ALL‼️ ( I want Justice for him also ) Thank You for Sharing a Small piece of him with us!

  23. I was one of Adam's classmates from elementary school all through high school. I wasn't close to him, but he always seemed so kind and sweet, and I know so many of our graduating class will miss him so so much. He was taken away far too soon, and he will absolutely be missed by all of us. I'm grateful for even being able to be a passerby in his life, and he will never be forgotten. I carry the memory of our first classmate who passed many years ago now, and I will be doing the exact same for Adam. Rest in Peace Adam, your Hibbing Bluejacket Family will love and miss you so so much.

  24. Im very moved by his celebration of life. I didnt personally know Adam but I saw him play in Nottingham with the Panthers.I'm truly heartbroken for all the people who knew and loved Adam but I'm thankful that he gave so much joy to so many. Sending love and condolences to his family, friends, coaches and everyone who knew him. He will always be our #47. 🙏❤

  25. I just heard: "Suspect is arrested for Manslaughter."
    It can only be Matt Petgrave. I'm sure he didn't mean to kill Adam, and I'm sure he's in bad shape now.
    But it wasn't an accident. He took the risk of hurting Adam with that kick. Skids are razor sharp.
    I am grateful that there is now an investigation and I hope there is a fair trial.
    It won't bring us Adam back. But it will bring certainty to all who love him and cry for him. And perhaps those responsible for the sport of ice hockey will draw some conclusions.
    I'm praying for you all.❤️🕯🙏🕊

  26. Glad to know that his assailant has rightfully been arrested.
    May the family and friends of Adam Johnson get justice and closure. ✝️❤️
