Although I haven't seen John in many many years this one hurts. He was my puppy love and my first kiss. I've been thinking back to the way he would ride his skateboard slowly next to me while we walked to La Strada on half days or the way he would excitedly show me the comic books he was saving up for at the little place that used to be next to quick check in North Plainfield and the way the jerk (I say that lovingly) broke up with me before almost every school dance and we always ended up dancing to Bon Jovi's I'll Be There For You and getting back together at the end of the dance. Or the pretty heart necklace he surprised me with one year on my birthday that I wish I still had. Hard to remember those two kids and realize he'd be gone so young. My love and condolences to his family & the friends that stayed close to him all of these years.

Johnny was a light, a beacon on any night of joy and laughter. It is in his memory that we promise to bring that same joy to everyone we meet. I remember when we threw an epic brunch party, Johnny was in the middle of the dance floor with this incredible energy...over coffee and eggs! We have so many great photos of you from that day. When he turned his light towards you - you could feel it. We miss you Johnny, see you on the other side my friend. Love, Ann Marie & Emmy

Johnny was the best. In my time I have never met another who was the personification of positivity the way Johnny was. He never had a malicious thought. He had a larger than life personality, and it suited him perfectly. However, he always had time and concern for his friends. There was always a lot of laughter when he was around. He was sweet. He was kind.
He will always be "Johnny Madjul" to me. The photo is a still from an interview I shot and edited of his band, Madjul, in 2003. We also produced a video. This is how we met. Sorry if looks low res - this was before the days of widespread HD.

There are a lot of lucky people hurting right now. Lucky because we got to know him. Hurting because it is unlikely there will ever be another like him.
Rest easy my friend. Love you.

John was such a talented musician and artist. His creativity was so inspiring to me in so many ways. He really lit up a room and was always so positive. He was so fun to be around. I admired how much love he had for his family and friends. I'm so grateful for all the fun memories with John. He will be missed so much by everyone who's lives he touched. My heartfelt sympathies go out to Mishka, his family, Renata, Dennis, Grandma and all of his friends.

Johnny!
You and Mish always made me feel so welcomed and included during my JC days. I loved seeing you whenever back in town and recently after becoming almost neighbors. Big heart and such loving energy. Lucky are those who got to spend time with you. We all should be inspired by how you made us feel. We'll meet again by the fire with some kielbaskas on the other side someday ;).
Dobre Vibes Always & Forever!!!
Love you, Mish.

I met Johnny I don’t know how many years ago. From then on, any time I saw him, that day and place was brighter for him being there. I loved when our bands played together and I just loved watching him perform. He was so talented and charismatic. He was also hilarious and went the extra mile for a punchline. He had a field day with my last name, I’m still laughing over his puns. He was so warm and kind but also didn’t take any crap on his own behalf but especially on behalf of those he cared about. His love for Mishka and her love for him is beautiful, inspiring and eternal. I’ll miss you, Johnny.

Our heart is aching with grief with the loss of Johnny, a wonderful young man, taken much too soon. We had the pleasure of meeting Johnny, during his high school years, when he and his parents were introduced to us, by our son Andrew. He was We spent many happy times together with him and his family and will forever have those fond memories. He had a delightful soul, witty, upbeat and warm personality.

My most sincere and heartfelt condolences to Mishka and Johnny's whole family. Johnny was a generous, hilarious, great guy whom I miss profoundly. This picture is from January 2020 and shows Johnny explaining his tattoos to my fascinated daughter. I will miss him most for his quick wit, compassion, and overall great energy. My heart goes out to all of you.

Johnny,
You were such an awesome person, made everyone laugh and smile and someone I looked up to growing up and over the years. You were kindhearted, always made everyone smile, and so selfless. You taught me guitar, brought me to shows, and showed me so many things.
The list goes on and on of what a great person you are, which is more than can be listed here.
You will be missed by everyone. Love you.

Dear Renata, Dennis, and Mila, I offer my condolences as a childhood friend of John. I can still vividly remember spending time with him at your house and mine. We unfortunately drifted apart after elementary school for no particular reason, but I was able to see him one more time in 2014 at a going away party for a mutual friend. Even though it's been a long time, it still hurt to hear of John's untimely passing. It is my hope that John is still connected to all of us. I wish I were able to attend the visitation and express these thoughts in-person, but I now live too far away to make a trip up and back this evening. Stay strong. My sympathy to Mishka too.

Johnny,
We first meet at a Halloween Party, you were dressed as a Werewolf. You were in full Werewolf make-up…Fur, Fangs and every Thang. So I had no idea who you were under that make-up? But I do remember, after leaving the party, I said to another friend of mine, …”I really I dig that Werewolf” guy.
From then on you and I only became closer and closer. You became one of the BEST friends I’ve ever had. And I can count “the BEST friends I’ve ever had” on one hand. Always being my “go-to bro” for advice, support and laughs.
You are the kindest, most thoughtful, loving and selfless MoFo’s I’ll ever know.
You’ll never be gone to me, my brother!!! You will live on in my soul till we meet again. …I’ll bring the Vodka. :)
You're the best around...nothings gonna ever keep you down

Johnny Chlup! What’s up Boyyyyyy... There are so many countless memories with you and I wish I could remember all of them. My brother you have been a solid friend throughout the years. You never said no to adventure, it was always full throttle with you and that why I love you man. We were so opposite but your energy and love was polarizing. I don’t understand why God took you so soon, but I’m glad he brought you into our lives. These are a few of the pictures I have here in Arizona of us, during my 30th birthday and then your birthday. Also there is one of the kick ball games we had at Eastend.
Brother I’m gonna miss you but will always have you in my heart and memories, not good bye but till
Next time my dude! Love you Chlup Dog!

It's inconceivable that you are no longer with us. We are greatly shocked and saddened by it. As her mother I am grateful for the time she had with you. I know she felt loved every day.
We'll remember and miss you always..

Dear Johnny,
It was such a sad phone call when I learned about your passing. In situations like these, words are so hard to find to describe how much you meant for me and for all the people that loved you so much. I believe that the real greatness of a man is defined by the number of people's lives you touched and the legacy you left in our hearts. You have become a part of so many people's lives and touched so many hearts. In this respect, you are a real Champion. I feel sad that I will never see you again. You will be missed by many. God has you in His arms now, but we all have you ,and forever will have you, in our hearts. We lost you Johnny , but we gained an angel we know. May you rest in peace , Johnny.

John was the funniest and most genuine best friend I had in my life. We hung out a few times over the past year and each time was memorable. Him shooting off fireworks at my house, us going to the aquarium, going for brunch and the nice, small get together Mishka put on for his birthday. I don't think I'll ever have another friend like him and I already miss him so much. I feel like he made a huge impact on many people. He was very sweet, loving and happy. I'm sending my love to his family and friends. ❤️ Debbie

I met Johnny through the Jersey City music scene. When I needed people for a music video shoot, Johnny showed up full of energy, ideas and an infectious personality. He didn’t have to. He didn’t have to shoot another one with me either (all for free.) He didn’t have to give his time and professional expertise to look at my HVAC for me, then try to refuse payment because he couldn’t fix it on the spot. He didn’t have to go out of his way to text me, asking how my life was going. He didn’t have to invite me to sit down at his table full of friends when he’d see me walking by.
He didn’t have to do any of this, but he did.

When I heard of Johnny's passing this past Sunday I was shocked ! Johnny was such a caring person. He is gone way to soon and will be truly missed by everyone who knew and loved him. Johnny had such talent both in writing music and playing guitar ( self taught ) and singing. I want to send my heart felt prayers out to his wife Mishka and his entire family . Life is filled with memories and my memories of Johnny will always be positive ones. Gone way to soon but never forgotten !

You will always have a special place in my heart. Rest easy, my friend.
