According to John Canzano of The Oregonian:  Oregon Ducks director of player personnel Don Johnson Jr. suffered a heart-related medical emergency on Monday.  He remains hospitalized.

 

Hope things will be okay.

 

BUMMER! Thanks for the post Kurt, and thoughts and prayers for Don.

Prayers for a speedy recovery,  and better health moving forward. 

Best wishes and speedy recovery. we need you back.

I read this afternoon that Don was airlifted to Portland and is waiting for a heart transplant!!🙏

Yikes!

Serious stuff, wish him well. 

Oh man I hope he's ok.  

Wow. If he had a massive MI and required airlift to OHSU for a ventricular assist device from heart failure, that could be in preparation for a transplant. I hope that isn't the case as the outcomes for that can be pretty grim, but most everything else could have been handled here without the need for transfer. Just speculating and I hope I'm wrong. 

Sad, Hoping for a great outcome.

Prayers for healing and wholeness for Coach Johnson. Hoping for courage, endurance and a return to a good quality of life. 

Only good thoughts for this guy. We talk about the money these guys make and the passion for the game they have. Not often enough do we reflect on the hours and stress they go through. Hoping some Duck magic happens for Don over the coming hours, days and weeks!

Approaching two months in the hospital from the looks of this Instagram post.

Very encouraging for him to be on his feet.  Prayers and best wishes for a full and speedy recovery.

Darn it! Let me know if I can help coach. Mow the grass, wash the car. Whatever you need while you recover.

 

Great to See--lets go kick some @$$

Don The Magic Juan....that makes me smile with joy!
