R.I.P DJ Johnnie Summerset

[Joe Doggs]

DHP family, House Nation & the City of Chicago we lost a true house head. DJ Johnnie Summerset passed away last night. Johnnie was a childhood friend of mine, but more importantly he was an inspiration. Johnnie you will be missed. "Keep pumpin' that shit!"

Gman,

How about posting his pic up on the board in loving memory of this fellow DHP brother. Also, maybe we should put up his mixes in honor of this Chicagoan that was part of the DHP family.

peace,

Wow. This really hits close to home. Johnnie was one of the regulars at my weekly parties out at Glenwood in the mid '80's. He wasn't a DJ yet, but told me recently that those parties were one of the reasons why he started spinning. My thoughts go out to him and his family. Rest in peace, Johnnie.....JMJ

Now he is beating the box in a much better place!

Sorry to hear this terrible news. I never met JS but thru his posts on the board, I knew he was a positive brother even when he was down. Hearing this news makes me sit back and think how much I want to do before I leave this earth. "Cause you never know!

Terrible news. Sincere condolences to the family and friends of Johnnie Simmerset.

[AgentDoubleA]

My condolences to Johnnies friends and family.

I 1st met Johnnie through a phone call back in 2000. He contacted me due to his interest in "House Renovations" (A bi-weekly event that Sean Smith and I threw). He was excited that we were bringing the flavor back to the Chi. He explained to me that he was making a come back after laying off the decks (in order to teach his Club D.J. Class @ Columbia College Chicago) for a minute. We were both honest to each other, me in telling him that the nights were kinda slow. Him in telling me that it did'nt matter that he just wanted to play. His persistence paid off. a month later when the schedule was open we put him on the roster. He came in and rocked it!

We kept in contact with each other through supporting each others events. The last time I saw/heard Johnnie was when he blew up Subterrainean on his birthday. His appearence was different but the enthusiasm and smile that I knew never changed.

Rest in Peace Hermano.

[Monny JcIntosh]

As always it's sad to hear a DHP member's passed. I'm sure he'd have been happy to read of the friends he'd touched, though.

[Cheddar]

RIP

My prayers go out to Johnnie, his family and friends in their time of loss. Rest in Peace my Brother.

[liL Ray]

This is really sad news....I just got home and read this...I didn't know him personally, but I felt I did through this board....he was great to converse with and to read his thoughts. The best memory for me will be his "no quitting" attidude and his positivity. He will be missed....this puts everything into perspective.

Condolences to his family and friends....this feels like we lost a friend.

[däp]

my prayers go out for him and his family. he's no longer in pain...

rest in peace

[trento]

damn. shit. joe "doggs", this is trent odeneal from shop class(1983,"watch the closing doors"...). i hope you remember me. man we used to trip every morning(singing the mixes n'shit). for those of you who never met johnnie- this was one of the coolest, most laid back, ego-less cats i'd ever met. in high school he was shy but not anti-social. he would let me come over after school and practice mixing. those were the first real tables i'd spun on(john rocca days). we'd play basketball(dunkin' on those 8' rims n' shit), the whole nine. joe i know you remember. i can hear his mom now...fussing at him because we had the music up too loud in the basement..."johnnie!!! turn that music down!!!" then he'd say something like, "it's only on 2 ma!!" we'd spin for like 2 more hours, same volume if not louder. joe, if you read this and get time, hit me at: trentgroovz@mailcity.com. i'll pass this tragic news on and try to make the services.

[Part Sixx]

My memory of Johnnie:

Last year, when I had my first DJ Free-4-All, I wanted to do a collection for Johnnie for some of his medical costs. He came by the party with his ladyfriend. He told me that he apreciated the gesture, but his pride wouldn't let him take it. He felt that he could beat his illness, so "thanks, but no thanks!" But, he said he didn't mind having a chicken wing! biggrinangel.gif
I found him to be a talented dj and, more important, a gentle soul. As with all of you, I will keep a special place in my heart for him!
God Speed on your journey, my friend!
We will miss you! graemlins/thumbsup.gif

[Happy]

Does anyone know when or where the services will be held? R.I.P. Johnnie

[LEONARD REMIX RROY]

Johnnie Summerset is the most "Be Happy With Me" as I do battle human being that I ever had the pleasure to meet. I was given this sad news of his passing last night from V-Rod just as I returned from Whiteman Air Force base.

Needless to say, he will be missed by all.

[JMNYC]

"...may flocks of angels bring thee to thy rest."

[Joe Doggs]

The services will be held at Union Evangelist Baptist Church 1625 Center Ave Chicago Heights, IL @ 12:00 PM CDT.
