When I saw it being mentioned on my timeline on Twitter I thought it was some sick cruel joke, but shortly after I saw Leighanne confirming it and that's what my heart just broke.
Now some of you may think us fans are taking this a bit far but honestly Q was such big part of the Backstreet family, not only for the boys but the fans as well. He would always make sure everyone was safe, having a good time, joking with us, etc and I surely will miss that and I speak from my heart when I say that further BSB concerts and events will not be the same without Q because honestly when I knew I was gonna see BSB I was so excited being able to also see Q again.
Q always made sure I was well taken care of and if something went wrong he always tried to make best of it and I thank him for that, he goes far and beyond to just make you smile, because that's how I saw him, he was always smiling.
My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friend's during this rough time and it being so close to Christmas I'm sure it's 1000x harder. Although God gained another angel so have we and I look forward to him looking down on us and trying to keep us safe, he will be missed by many but not never forgotten! I'm not sure about you but I feel like we all have lost a friend, he was like a 6th Backstreet Boy, Johnny Q may you rest in peace.
Only thing I do regret is not getting a photo with him on the cruise 2013, and every time I saw him something in my gut was telling me to do it, this is your chance and I never did I always felt he was busy so I didn't want to bother him or anything so my shyness of that def kept me from getting that photo. :(
Sincerely
Shannon.
