Ernie Johnson’s Speech About His Son Michael From 2019 

Ernie Is One Of The Nicest Guys. He’s A Legendary Broadcaster. Taking The Boy In Is One Of The Most Inspirational Things I’ve Seen. Ernie Is The Greatest Father, Influencer, And Broadcaster🙏✊

RIP Michael Johnson…condolences to the Johnson family 🙏🏾

Ernie is one of the only people I can compare to Mr. Rogers.

RIP. There's no such thing as "not good enough." Thank you Ernie and the Johnson family for giving this boy the world and more.

“There’s value in everybody” well said Ernie.

That speech slaughters me. Ernie and Cheryl Ann are simply amazing human beings.

Wow...... 😥 i tried to make it through without crying, didnt even get half way. When he said the woman told his wife " dont take this boy he's no good " 😭 that hit hard.

I loved Ernie prior to knowing this.. y’all can’t even imagine the amount of admiration and respect I have for him now. This is amazing. Rip Michael Johnson.

May he rest in peace 🙏

This makes Ernie way more special than he already is..REST IN PARADISE Michael 🙏🏿💙

Been some good old years since I cried in front of a screen... Ernie is just an amazing guy...

Ernie Johnson, the best in TnT and in his field of work. He is the glue that keeps Shaq, Charles and Kenny together. In life, he is even more than that. Just pure admiration for him and even more for his wife who did not look away when she had the chance.

Rest in peace Micheal Johnson 🙏 Condolences to the Johnson family 🙏

Absolutely beautiful tribute. R.I.P. Michael Johnson 🤟 Thoughts and prayers with Ernie and his family.

When Ernie describes the woman at the orphanage saying "don't take this boy, he's no good," I absolutely lost it. 😭 God bless the Johnson family for giving this dear child a longer-than-expected, happy life. RIP Michael.

My son, Danny, sent your speech to me. Danny lives in ATL and I'm in CLE. we were talking/texting about you 4 guys and I asked about you...and he sent me your spspeech about your son. I am Blessed that I heard it. It made my day. Danny said you are very Loved in the ATL area. Take care, love you too! ❤️

Ernie, to you and your family - god speed. We love you so much and hope that you and the family can heal and continue to bring joy to us all. Love from NYC ❤️

I just got home and was about to change the channel because I don't really care to watch basketball, then they showed this and I balled like a baby. I had to share this message and inspiration to everyone I know.

I am a father of 4 healthy kids and a 5th one on the way watching this break my heart. Because my last child was a miscarriage last years January my wife was not the same until this year August 5th my last son birthday. When she find out we are blessed with our baby who is in her belly 17 weeks we still have a long way to go but watching this I am crying as 43 years old .man

Your family were his angels and in return he taught a lot of people the the real meaning in life, love and grace

Ernie, an inspiration...for the joy you give to Micheals life.... Sympathy to you and your Family.. .

This video brought me to tears. Ernie, we need more people like you in this world. Thanks for giving Micheal a beautiful life and a chance to experience and give love to others.

If anyone saw that and didn’t get a feeling of pride and happiness for what Michael did but sadden for his death and what the Johnson family is feeling, you have no soul. RIP Michael.
