Johnson Was Going To Propose To His Girlfriend Before His Death
The NHL community gathered together after the devastating news of the death of Adam Johnson.
He died on October 28th, while playing the game we all love, his throat was cut by the skate of Steelers player, Matt Petgrave.
He was only 29 years old and had his whole life ahead of him, and was prepared to take the next step.
As his girlfriend, Ryan Wolfe, found an engagement ring in their apartment after Johnson had passed away.
Johnson had purchased the ring before the couple went to England for the 2023-2024 hockey season.
On the day of Johnson's memorial, Wolfe read a letter that she said was similar to what she would have written for their wedding day.
"Hi Babe. I want you to know how much I love you and adore you. You had the best sense of humor, the biggest heart, the quickest wit and the kindest soul. The last year or so, you came up with so many different plans for us. From starting a farm or coffee shop or me becoming some big hot shot so you could stay home and be a stay-at-home Dad with a whole van full of kids you wanted. To me, you were everything. You were my home, my best friend, my sounding board, my rock, my safe haven and the love of my life. I'm never going to stop thinking about you, missing you and loving you until we can be together again. I love you."
An arrest was made on Tuesday on suspicion of manslaughter and subsequently bailed soon after.
The name was never revealed, but it's believed to be Petgrave.
