His body of work is unparalleled, he gave it all to the game.

On Dylan’s birthday, of all days. Rest in peace, Marc. Your skating meant a lot to a lot of people.

A couple days ago, I was thinking about how sick it would be if he made a comeback. RIP to one of the best to ever set foot on a skateboard. He was one of the few guys that made tech stuff look appealing to me.

No no no. He was supposed to come back and get healthy and mend the friendships and the skaters of my childhood would be ok. Not this. Rip Marc. I watched your Pretty Sweet part so many times that Bowie makes me think of you.

RIP to one of the greats, condolences to friends and family (Avery).
He had his struggles, and having them be public was probably a huge hurdle to overcome.
Hope he knew how much he brought to others including inspiration, admiration, and imitation.

Oh no! I was just hoping he’d have some type of comeback. Heart wrenching news. One of the best to ever do it. Style, skill, creativity…he had it all in spades.

Pure dejection.

Don't want to go on about it now but was thinking about you today.

Skating will not and has not been the same without your creativity and joy.

One of my favorite people.

Just keep refreshing the page, seeing how many people are here.

This will sting

Gotta say, I think this the first time a skater from my childhood that I really clicked with has passed and it’s weird.

We don’t know the guy, but it’s fucking Marc Johnson. You never see this stuff coming.

RIP Marc, we all appreciate what you gave to us in the form of skateboarding.

This being the first news I’ve heard about MJ after him being off the grid for so long is absolutely devastating. Genuinely shocking and heartbreaking. Rest in peace to one of the best to ever do it.

I am absolutely devastated by the news. Seriously just thinking about this is making be cry. From the statement it sounds like it was self inflicted. I feel so bad for his son and his family and friends. Truly one of the greatest. Wearing my brown cords tomorrow to memorialized him.

One of my favorite pro interactions was simply DMing with Marc about the finale of Twin Peaks season 3 and both being so stoked on it. Shocking fucking news

Well said. I feel the same. I’m at home sick today and this has wrecked me.

You’re in flavor country now, Marc.
