Obituary for Ja'Maar D. Johnson

THE FIVE SHOW

Ja’Maar D. Johnson Five was born May 31, 1986, in Boston Massachusetts. His zodiac sign is Gemini the twins. His favorite color red, favorite breakfast oatmeal with peanut butter, favorite drink grape Arizona Tea and he loved rocket ships. When Ja’Maar was a baby he cried a lot, he was afraid of clowns, Big bird, you name it, anything that was in a costume. As he got older one of his favorite things was to watch all the horror movies during halloween. Like nightmare on elm street and Friday the 13th., Go figure! Ja’Maar attended Sudbury and Quincy public schools, though he obtained his GED while incarcerated at MCI Shirley max which was one of his greatest accomplishments considering his situation.

One of his favorite things to do was to go fishing and be near the water. Something that he and his big brother Terrence loved to do together. Ja’Maar loved to play football and lacrosse. Ja’Maar was probably one of the only black kids in Dorchester carrying around a lacrosse stick everywhere he went. But football was his passion. When he played for the Dorchester Eagles he and his best friend Scott Wilson who was the Quarterback were the perfect pair. Ja’Maar was one of the fastest running backs in the league. Many people would say that he could be the next O.J simpson.

As Ja’Maar came into his adulthood his talent really soared. He was a sketch artist and loved to write songs and began his rap career with his friend Patrick AKA Piff. At this time Five really came alive. Five has a charismatic voice and the beat of his heart will play on and on and on. Ohh but he could not dance. The Five show is a series of videos he posted on social media, He really wanted to be a celebrity and his Legacy will live on through his music and the story of his life.

His latest hobby was pokemon cards, everytime he would come to visit his momma’s house he'd say”here mom can you put this can of pokemon cards up for me” so of course she has a hidden treasure of pokemon cards in the house. So what is it about pokemon?

It was so fitting that Ja’Maar was able to save another human being's life with the gift of his heart because he has a loving heart and truly cared for others. Yes he also had his demons and he is good with God now. His heart beats still inside a 60 year old man. He is a HERO

You have heard Janice say many times that Ja’Maar is her one and only son. Which is something Ja’Maar would always say to her. “Hey mom, it's your one and only son.

Ja’Maar flies without his son Javien, his Mother Janice V Johnson, Sisters Lashay J Johnson and Janice L Adams. His sister/neice Jay’Lana V Johnson. His cousin Joseph and Dyreke Johnson, his auntie Jill and uncle John. His father Edwin Casey and siblings Edwin Rutledge, Terrence Rutledge, Tamecca Rutledge, Thomas Rutledge, Danielle Johnson, Tev Porter, Michael Boyd, Rob Boyd, Elaine Boyd, Lavar Boyd, Mary Boyd, Shantey Boyd, Davoni Boyd, Edwin Casey Jr., Lichelle Casey, cousin Kalvin Johnson, Ja’Maar is flying high with his brother Javoni Boyd.

Ja’Maar flies without so many cousins, aunts, uncles, relatives and friends.

Fly High, FlyBoyFive. Fly High.
