You were among the BEST society has to offer, especially relative to THESE days. SUUUUCH an unspeakable loss. Still mourning, homie. Gonna miss you so much. May the universe keep your beautiful wife and daughter...and Josephine, your Mom, your sister, and your Dad. Love you, dude.”

“Early 2000’s, I was lucky enough to experience a few years of joy filled get togethers and adventures with Johnny and his close knit group of SoCal friends. From the moment I met him, his warmth filled the room and his smile made everyone else’s so much bigger. In seconds, I knew I had a big brother around if ever I needed one. I’m so thankful I got to know him & will Cherish those laughter filled memories. I’m so very sorry for your loss. Sending my heartfelt thoughts & prayers to all. Kelly”

“This dude was amazing. One of the funnest dudes I’ve ever met. He was as rare as his grey eyes. Whether it was in the lab at work, at Hennessy’s, or at one of his killer gatherings at his home in Dana Point, Johnny was always SOLID - even off that tequila, haha!! I’m profoundly sorry for the family’s and the fishin’ community’s loss. Man... Rest in everlasting peace, Johnny! 🙏🏾”

Soprano Moran wrote a sympathy message

“I attended Wagner College with John from 1988-1992. We instantly made a connection because my high school coach was a neighbor of his. John's smile lit up the room when he walked in. He was the type of person that would give you the shirt off his back and the food off of his plate. I still look at his photos and can't believe that he's gone. RIP "Superfly" Flanigan.”
