It is with a heavy heart that we say goodbye to our friend and brother Johnathan 'Roebus One' Watson today.
He was an amazing person, a unique talent, and most importantly, a friend. All I can do right now is be grateful that he was a part of my life.
I first met him while he was touring with Kosha Dillz many years ago and they both got stranded in a snowstorm and ended up at me and Erica's house for 3 days. It only took those 3 days for us to all become life-long friends. We even recorded the song "Girl Push-Ups" at that time.
Me and Johnathan stayed in touch throughout the years and when he would visit always requesting Erica make him homemade hummus or veggie lasagna lol. He didn't always have the easiest life and like many of us battled a lot of personal demons, but he was the most friendly sincere dude you'd ever meet. There was a time when he left my house and a couple days later called and told me he didn't go home and got lost on his way back to NJ. Long story short he would end up getting some help after this. I would talk him to sleep many of nights when they had him on Ambien just making sure he stayed in the house or didn't get hurt walking around. Those were some wild conversations but he always remembered them and we even laughed about it sometimes.
I last spoke to him maybe a month ago as he was just checking in on me and the wifey. We were at a distance but always cared about eachother.
I love you dude. This one is tough but you will always live on through many of us. Rest in Peace my friend.
