Apollo Oneal Johnson

Apollo Oneal Johnson passed away on June 24th, 2023, at the age of 3, in Long Branch and was affectionately known as Lolo by his mother and Mo by his Mimi. He was born on January 20th, 2020 in Bridgeport Connecticut, and was the beloved son of Ginna Carlesimo and Kevin Johnson Jr.

Apollo had a bright and loving personality, which was evident to all who knew him. He loved Sonic the Hedgehog everything and his tablet, his infectious smile brought joy to those around him. He was a bright boy who was beyond his years, doing 100-piece puzzles at only 3 years old. Apollo would embrace strangers with a smile and a conversation.

Apollo will be deeply missed by his mother Ginna Carlesimo, his father Kevin Johnson Jr., his grandmother Jaime Carlesimo, his step-grandfather Juan Sanchez, his grandfathers Joseph Johnson Jr. and Kevin Johnson Sr. and their partners, his grandmother Tonia Renae and her partner, his uncles Louis, Anthony, and Mikael Carlesimo, and his aunt Ava Sanchez and many other cousins, family and friends.

Apollo's passing has devastated our worlds, but his memory will continue to live on in all of us forever. Mom Mom, Pop Pop, and Grandma Doreen are holding you tight up there. Our Angel May you Rest.

Apollo's family and friends will be honoring his life and memory with a Mass of Christian Burial on Thursday, June 29 at 10:30 am at Star of the Sea Church in Long Branch.
