The relatives of American actor and comedian, Johnny Brown, on Saturday bemoaned that his death has left them devastated.
The singer died on March 2 at the age of 84.
Brown played building superintendent Nathan Bookman on the 1970s CBS sitcom ‘Good Times.’
His daughter, a Broadway actress, Sharon Catherine Brown, confirmed the news on social media as she paid glowing tribute to her father.
Sharing a photo of Brown smiling broadly, she told fans: “Johnny Brown, June 11, 1937 – March 2, 2022.
“Our family is devastated. Devastated. Devastated. Beyond heartbroken. Barely able to breathe.
“We respectfully ask for privacy at this time because we need a minute to process the unthinkable. To articulate the depths of profound sadness.
“This is my mom’s husband for sixty one years, mine and JJ’s dad, Elijah and Levi’s Pop Pop, older brother to George and brother in law to Pat and extended family to Chris, Hihat, Damian and Derell.
“It’s too terrible. It will never not be. It’s a shock. He was literally snatched out of our lives. It’s not real for us yet. So there will be more to say but not now. Dad was the absolute best. We love him so very much.”
