Last weekend, I suddenly lost my uncle, John Griffin. I had just seen him three weeks ago for his 76th birthday. But I didn’t just lose my uncle/godfather — I’ve lost one of my best friends and most towering influences in life, someone I loved like a second father. I owe so much to him. Me becoming a music writer was inspired in part by watching him do it from afar thanks to his 30 years at the Montreal Gazette, where he wrote about music and later film. His hilariously insightful perspective on music, and the ways in which he articulated that, rubbed off on me in unquantifiable ways.

I wouldn’t be the writer, journalist or music nerd I am today without him. Full stop.

But above all, he was just my uncle Johnny. So many memories throughout my childhood, adolescence and young adulthood involve him somehow. His Habs fandom helped breed my own, and became something we bonded over for years to come. Days and nights spent at the house he and my aunt lived at in Montreal West are memories I’m still deeply attached to. (I’ve added more of my favourite memories in the comments.)

Despite his health struggles in recent years, we maintained a close relationship, and I always looked forward to seeing him whenever I’d visit my parents in the Eastern Townships, where he’d resided for the last 14 years. He’d be an ever-present fixture at their house, celebrating birthdays and holidays while being his usual quick-witted, effortlessly charismatic self. He may have had his flaws, but at his best, he lit up the room of any party or gathering he walked into.

The hole this loss has left in me is incalculable, and I don’t know how I will ever recover from this. I really thought we still had more time… I won’t feel the true weight of this for a long time to come. I’m just numb everywhere. I’m beyond devastated I will never get to say a proper goodbye and tell him how much he’s meant to me my whole life. But I’m sure he already knew.

I’ll do my best to continue his legacy and embody his spirit as long as I can, in the best way I know how. I already feel his presence all around me.

Sleep well, Uncle Johnny, until we meet again. Give my love to Nanny for me. Who loves ya ❤️🕊️💫 by @dave_macattack
