Johnny Elijah Lucero Mendez
What Johnny Elijah was like
Smooth like Frank Sinatra, stylish, handsome, quick to laugh, always had an impish smile lurking at the corner of his mouth. He had an ability to connect with people, didnt matter the age, from baby cousins to his grandparents, he was loved by all
Fondest memories of Johnny Elijah
The time he was my real life hero. I'm not proud of what transpired that day but i was proud that i had such an awesome nephew that loved me that much. Nobody got seriously hurt, bodily anyway. However ego wise, it was almost a killshot. My nephew made sure they got taught a much needed lesson... it was so unexpected and awesome, he had always been a like one of my own because all of my kids and their cousins have grown up together, that day filled my heart with so much love and gratitude
How Johnny Elijah will be missed
His smile, his unique style, his wide variety of intrests, his chill manner, he was our cool cat in the family, the one who made friends everywhere he went, had all the girls trying to catch his eye, yet he was a true romantic at heart. We all loved him very much and it hurts to know all that love wasnt enough to save him from this evil drug. He is forever young and i hate that, hate that we have to bury him instead of him burying me or his parents, hate that he left this world before me
