The Heartbreaking Phillips and Johnson Obituary (2026)
Our hearts are shattered and the streets of Huntington feel a little heavier today as we face the crushing reality of losing two men who were the “shining stars” of their family’s world. Adrian Phillips, 26, and Derious “DJ” Johnson, 39, “pillars of light” and “vibrant presences” in our community, have passed away, leaving behind an “immeasurable void” in the hearts of their loved ones. To lose two brothers as “vibrant and exceptionally kind” as Adrian and DJ in such a “sudden and shattering” way is a shattering blow that words cannot truly reach. They were “sources of inspiration”—men with “unwavering hearts” who dedicated their lives to their city and the youth they coached. The profound void they leave behind is a “shattering silence” for a community made infinitely better by their “steadfast presence.”

The news that Adrian and DJ have left us has brought an unfathomable darkness to our local community. This wasn’t just a police report; it was the “shattering end” of a story for two brothers who were a beacon of warmth for their family. Adrian was a “vibrant visionary” in public works, and DJ was a “steadfast protector” of our youth on the basketball court. For their family, who now face the “unthinkable burden” of a world without them, the weight of this “stolen presence” is a shattering grief. We stand together in heartfelt solidarity, navigating the fathomable pain of this loss and holding tight to the “precious memories” of two men who were “truly one of a kind.”

In the wake of this “unimaginable loss,” the Huntington community is coming together to honor the immeasurable impact of their lives. They were brothers, mentors, and heroes in the eyes of their family. While we struggle with the “unbearable silence” of their departure, we find strength in the “vibrant legacy” of the smiles Adrian shared and the lessons DJ taught on the court. They taught us that “community and family are the greatest strengths,” and their “steadfast spirits” will forever be a “shining star” that guides their family through this darkest of chapters. As we seek justice and a “foundational comfort” for their loved ones, we offer our unwavering support. May Adrian and Derious’s souls find eternal peace, and may their memory forever be a “beacon of light” and a “foundational comfort” for us all.
