"Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies inside of us while we live". We were left with a Jillian-sized void in our hearts that may never be filled again. She was born on August 1, 2000, to Jacqueline and Louis Thomas Johnson in Yakima, Washington. Jillian passed away on February 22, 2022, at the age of 21 after a courageous, yet bleak battle with addiction in Puyallup, Washington. Jillian loved life and her love for it did not come to an end with her passing. She is forever surrounded in spirit and love by her loved ones who will continue to honor her legacy by living their lives to the fullest, and taking care of her pride and joy Ayvion. Jillian's educational path led her to complete her GED. Jillian began to pursue a career as a Sobriety Coach so she could continue to make positive impacts on struggling addicts. Jillian was a source of pride for her peers, her friends, and her clients, and she exuded a need to nurture and heal. She was changing the world. Watching people grow, watching others make positive strides in their battles brought great joy to Jillian. Still, nothing brought more joy to her than raising her son and watching him grow. Jillian and Ayvion were, and will continue to be, inseparable in this world and the next. Her spirit will continue to watch over him as he blossoms into a wonderful young man. Jillian had an uncanny ability to find happiness in even the smallest of places; her personality a contagion to everyone that she interacted with. Jillian is survived by her son, Ayvion; mother, Jackie Kraai; Stepfather, Bryan Kraai; two sisters, Kylee & Natallee; brother Drew Kraai; Aunt Angie and Uncle Steve; grandparents, Judy "Nan" Goode and Richard "Pop" Goode; cousins Donavin and Davian, who she named her son Ayvion after; numerous cousins, relatives, and extended family. There was truly no one in the world Jillian aspired to love and idolize more than her Nan, Judy and she made every effort to make sure the world knew that message. We all miss you so much, Jillian. She is preceded in death by her father Louis Thomas Johnson and godfather Vincent Johnson.
