Philip PJ Johnson

Philip “PJ” Johnson 35 of Columbus went into eternity on Sunday April 19 @ 7:30 pm. He had just celebrated his 35^th birthday on April 18^th. If you knew Phil, you know he didn’t live to his favorite day!

Phil was known to attend many local circuit wrestling shows in the Columbus area. If Emerge Wrestling had an event, he was on the front row. Phil was a huge fan of Rickey Ruckus. He had shirts and shot glasses of Rickey.

Phil was also known as a big fan of Bray Wyatt on WWE. He also attended a WWE Smackdown show in Indianapolis a few years back. Phillip’s eight-year-old son Wyatt, was named after Bray Wyatt. Wyatt’s middle name is Kane, taking after the WWE Superstar Kane. Little Wyatt lucked out by getting the same last name as Dewayne “The Rock” Johnson. This just shows Phil passed his wrestling enthusiasm on to Wyatt while he was very young. You always knew NEVER to bother Phil or Wyatt is wrestling was on the tv.

Phil was an avid video game player always playing Fornite & Ark Survival Evolved when not working or watching WWE.

When working at Long John Silvers, Phil formed a family with Zack, Kathy, Amber, Vinnie, and Chris. Those were the good ole days that we will all miss especially since our circle has been broken!

Phil was always out riding his bicycle in Columbus checking on friends. If you provided Phil a ride somewhere and he seen someone he knew and wanted to talk, you might as well have taken a nap!!

Phil was buried at Garland Brook Cemetery. A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.

Philip is survived by his father and mother Rickey and Penny Cochran Lucas, son Wyatt Johnson, and a daughter Faye Booher. Phil hadn’t learned by the time of his death he had just became a grandpa. Phil is also survived by his brother Devan Warner and sister Chrystal Graves. He is also survived by his uncle Allan Cochran. He was also very thankful to have many, many, friends and none meant more than the other.
