Statement from the Family of Berner “Bud” Johnson (July 27, 1970 – May 19, 2019):
“This past Sunday, we said goodbye to our beloved husband, father, brother, son and friend Bud. He was alone when he was assaulted and viciously beaten by a group of men outside his favorite neighborhood restaurant on Wednesday, May 15. We made the incredibly difficult decision to remove him from life support four days later. His sudden departure from our lives and the violent way in which it occurred leaves a hole in our hearts that will never be filled.
Bud had a big heart. He was a great family man and loved nothing more than spending time with his wife and children. At home, at work and with friends, he always put the concerns of others before his own.
As a result, Bud had an extensive and loving network of friends in the Senate, on his softball team, his son’s Little League baseball team and throughout the Washington, DC, community. Bud loved his neighborhood, which he and Diane moved into nine years ago seeking a change in their lifestyle. Along with their son Bo, they have lived in and around the DC community and became a part of it.
The family wishes to thank the first responders from both the Metropolitan Police Department and the DC Fire and EMS Department who tended to Bud immediately following his assault. Because of their efforts and success in reviving Bud, dozens of family members and friends were able to say goodbye to Bud before he passed.
The family is also grateful to the staff at MedStar Washington Hospital Center who cared for Bud, keeping him comfortable during his final days while accommodating the constant stream of visitors who filled the halls outside the ICU. (more…)

Thanks to all who’ve been emailing updates about this tragic event.
From GoFundMe:
“With heavy hearts, we said goodbye to Bud on Sunday as he finally succumbed to the injuries he received when assaulted by a group of individuals just outside where he lived in Washington DC. He was never alone as we were there in spirit until the end. His organs have gone to a good cause and are helping at least two others live.
Many have asked if they could donate money to help Diane and the family. As a result, we have started this fund for those who wish to contribute. (more…)

Last week we posted about “an assault that occurred at approximately 3:30 am in the 100 block of K Street SE.” Sadly, I’ve gotten multiple reports that the victim has passed away.
I’m not going to post details about the victim until MPD releases their report or given permission by the family. Suffice it to say, this is incredibly sad. Updates when available.

“Dear PoPville,
Attending the Nats game next Friday and will not have time to eat beforehand like I normally try to do (great restaurants within feet of the park!)
I saw that Nats Park has upgraded its concessions and new additions include ChiKo, Medium Rare, DC Empanadas, and lobster rolls. Curiously, there are aren’t really reviews of any of the new options available online from actual game goers. I’d love to know what food is recommended by the popville community inside the stadium.”
Ed. Note: Mine is 100% ChiKo.
