When I was 4, Johnnie was my hero. On March 23rd 1959, my dad gave me a roll-cap rifle with the Rifleman loop lever action. My favorite show right through my parent's early divorce. I found much comfort in that show and imagined Johnny was suffering like me but carried on. So did I.
I was one of the Associate Producer’s on Johnny Crawford’s last movie !!! Bill Tilghman and the Outlaws.. Got to work on set with him, had lunch and dinner with him, and man what a man he was !!
He was a good friend from Hollywood High School. Our mutual love of horses started our friendship, He first came over and spoke to me as I was sitting alone at lunchtime drawing horses and we became fast friends. A quiet polite and somewhat shy guy! I had a chance to be in the original Mickey Mouse Club , but my father A well known concert tenor and voice coach who did a lot of work with recording stars ,records , tv & movies forbade my brother & I to become part of the industry. I treasure Johnny’s friendship and am happy he found a wonderful wife to live out his life with.
I had no idea of how versatile Johnny was and what his background really was. He lived and exemplary life and never let fame destroy him! May he Rest in Peace!
You know it really bothers me when people say he loses his battle with any disease that he may have do you really think that he lost his battle do you think that maybe he fought so he could live the spirit of a human to live and fight❤ I hate it when people say that he lost his battle I think it takes more courage to fight it then to lose it❤ something to think about people people battle with all kinds of things in life and you're not a loser you're a winner🎉🎉🎉🎉
These days I think john̈ny Crawford is the most influential figurehead of what's the best examples of a childhood actor!!!!" RIP JOHNNY CRAWFORD!!!!!"😮😅
Although you didn't mention it directly, when Johnny was only 12 and 13 on the Rifleman, he was a first rate horseman. He really knew his way around horses, and how to ride one. If you've never been around horses, you don't know the kind of skill and knowledge it takes, it's like a world of its own
Click bait. Title is misleading. "Loses Final Battle". Really??? This guy had an absolutely wonderful life. Born into a loving family; had an exemplary multifaceted career; no horrible divorces or drug problems; lived to a decently old age. Hey. Everybody dies and eventually "loses their final battle".
I don't understand why this channel is reporting Johnny Crawford's death as if it has happened recently. He died nearly three & a half years ago from Alzheimers disease
I remember him as a Mouskateer. I LOVED him and Cubby O'Brian. Alzheimer's is hideous. His death was probably a blessing. Over all it sounds like his life was good and I'm glad of that.
He would make me laugh and he would have me gripping my chair. I couldn't wait till he got his first rifle. I liked all the episodes of Rìfle man because he was the star.
My friend said in Canada, you can't have a handgun! WHEN he visited he remarked,this is how they started taking our rights in Canada. He was here for a week, took him to a gun show,he was amazed!
3 years ago was not that long ago. Why don't you keep scrolling. Most people don't know much about him. He was a quiet person and stayed out of the lime life. I'm glad he did. Hollywood destroys a person.
Yeah, you are right, willkamfuller2389, it’s not really news. It is nice to see him gain a bit more notice. This article does give even more folks a chance to add their best wishes to the memory of Johnny.
Yeah, a tad late for sure. Still…… it does give Johnny a chance to shine for the work he did. It’s also a chance to join others as we offer up RIPs to Johnny’s memory; no harm in that.
So the time frame on this video is 3 weeks ago he died on April 29th 2021 that's over 3 years ago so why are they put it on now. And the picture that you're using is not Johnny Crawford
Why use a picture of Johnny on his deathbed hooked up to breathing tubes and such for all the world to see. Was that necessary. Whoever made the decision to use that graphic is perverse and twisted. And my guess is will meet his death process in a less than desirable way himself. What goes around comes around.
I enjoyed Johnny Crawford's roles on TV for decades. I still watch The Rifleman. Please stop saying "All-Timers." Alzheimer's does not have a "T" in it. How can it ever be cured if you can't even pronounce it correctly.
I enjoyed watching him on The Rifleman. Great actor! Rest in peace, Johnny.
I loved Johnny. Especially in the rifle man He was a great actor and singer. He will be missed. Rest in peace
So sad! This was before television turned to trash. The rifleman was a good, wholesome show.
He died in 2021, this person is looking for easy money click then they get revenue
I still watch reruns of it.

So, I'm glad to see this, a young man who was a part of history, a patriot who did a fine job in life, old age killed him with anzheimer, died broke!
The Rifle Man was my favorite show to watch when I was a little girl. Til this day I watch the reruns.

I also went to HHS Class of summer 65 Was aware of Jonny….Rip
I was there 63’ thru June 64’. My Dad passed away and I moved to Burbank High & finished High School there.
Sadly because my dad was dying from kidney failure there was so much going on at home at that time that i never got my yearbook from HHS
Rest in eternal Peace Johnny! Your finally going home. Thanks for all the memories! You were an will always be an icon in black and white! Rest easy!
Happy trails Johnny crawford N.B.R. R.I.P.
I read that Chuck Connors would invite Johnny on camping trips with his own sons and that they were good friends.
The Rifleman was and is my all time favorite show.
Rip Johnny / Mark - you were a wonderful entertainer
I had no idea of how versatile Johnny was and what his background really was.
He lived and exemplary life and never let fame destroy him!
May he Rest in Peace!

Just met him within the last ten years. Seemed like he was pretty down to earth. I'm sorry for his passing. Condolences to family and friends.
THIS WAS GREAT YOU DID A WONERFUL JOB SHARING ABOUT JOHNNY. I REMEMBER WATCHING THE RIFLEMAN ALL THE TIME. I AM SORRY ABOUT HIS PASSING.

I loved Johnny he was a great actor I even think I had a big crush on him rest in peace ❤
Watched the show as a kid.Parents bought me the replica Rifleman Cap Winchester Rifle for Christmas .Those were the days .

Why is this breaking news? He died over 3 years ago. This was breaking news then.
It's called monetary gain. Every click to their channel more money for individuals, what a despicable individual piece of human excrement to do this.
I loved to watch one of his characters as Alfalfa. It was a great program.
We will miss Jonny my you rest in peace. God be with you.
Rest in Peace Johnny .
My grandson reminds me of Johnny Crawford. I remember him being a Mouseketeer.and as Mark on the Rifleman.
Knew him in high school very nice person talk about roll cap rifle was cool
Actor Johnny Crawford appeared to A Jack of all Trades. Thank you for your service, Mr Crawford 🙏🙏🙏🙏
He also played in Little House for one episode.
Click bait. Title is misleading. "Loses Final Battle". Really??? This guy had an absolutely wonderful life.

Seriously WTH?
They are certainly not going to announce your death.
TH-cam has all 4 years of The Rifleman series available with ads, of course. 🙏 RIP. JC and CC.
He passed in April, 2021.
He died in 2021. This is fake please stop with these fake stories. CLICK BAIT!!
Did you watch the video? It's clearly stated that he died in 2021.
always a legend
R.I.P. Johnny.
I remember him as a Mouskateer. I LOVED him and Cubby O'Brian. Alzheimer's is hideous. His death was probably a blessing. Over all it sounds like his life was good and I'm glad of that.
He died of covid in 2021. He got pneumonia and had Alzheimers. He was a good actor and had a good song.
He's been gone since April 29, 2021. Great Guy.
57 years old, and still watching Rifleman.
I'm 70 years old, and still watch Rifleman reruns. Great show!😊
He would make me laugh and he would have me gripping my chair. I couldn't wait till he got his first rifle. I liked all the episodes of Rìfle man because he was the star.
Sad indeed. RIP

Rest easy Johnny
My friend said in Canada, you can't have a handgun! WHEN he visited he remarked,this is how they started taking our rights in Canada. He was here for a week, took him to a gun show,he was amazed!
You can have a legal handgun, BUT lots of restrictions. (CERTAIN 🍉 ethnic groups 🍍 BIG in smuggling from the U.S. ...Mon! )

Died nearly 3½ years ago. WTF? His death, while tragic, is NOT news.

DUMP the A.I.voice----Johnny played in "Hawaii -0.------!"pronounced "Five OH," not "Five Zero!"
RIP
He was great om the rifelman very good
Aside from his star persona, in real life he was a fine person.

So the time frame on this video is 3 weeks ago he died on April 29th 2021 that's over 3 years ago so why are they put it on now. And the picture that you're using is not Johnny Crawford
I just watched The Sons of Katie Elder and the credits did not list him at all. Get your facts right.
You just found this out now!
He died more than three years ago.
I had no idea he was ill.

A little late on this aren't ya? John Ernest Crawford (March 26, 1946 - April 29, 2021)
At 66 years of age! I still watch the Rifleman regularly! I will always remember Johnny, as a... Wonderful Actor! May he RIP!!!
