Taylor also revealed that his final words to her and a family member, Dedric, were that he was ready to go.
In her tribute, she expressed disbelief over losing her husband, adding that life would never be the same without him.
Johnson’s cancer journey attracted considerable attention online, with many followers offering prayers, encouragement and financial support to him and his family.
He reportedly underwent 25 rounds of chemotherapy before revealing in September 2026 that he was too weak to continue treatment.
He also disclosed that he had been left with limited medical options and was exploring further medical advice at the City of Hope Medical Centre in California.
Despite his deteriorating health, Johnson continued sharing aspects of his experience with his followers, including difficult conversations with his children about his condition.
