Just finished watching the Tinhorn episode - Johnny’s acting, the way his face creases with worry & anxiety after he inadvertently writes gambler, then gunfight while doing his homework after Lucas has gone into town to deal with a potentially violent poker game, is simply brilliant - he’ll always be admired for the great man he was

i have written on this wall before, and i am writing on it again because i'm watching the rifleman as i'm typing right now... seeing johnny's face brings me joy but with tears. it makes me wish that he could have lived forever as if he was the most beautiful human being on earth, and that i've looked up to for the past 12 years of my life. i met johnny in arizona in 2012, and he sang to me and danced with me... i was only 5. i've been watching him since i was able to remember what it was like watching him... bless his heart. i miss johnny so much. i think of him everyday...

I just found out about Johnny’s passing, with such sorrow to here this. I am 75 years old and grew up watching the Rifleman, and still watch reruns every day. Johnny was such a great actor and musician, I remember him singing one of the songs he sang to his girlfriend on the show a few years ago, brought back memories. Prayers to the family.

Johnny was such a great actor. It is so sad that his memory left him. He is in Heaven now and completely healed living it up with his "second Pa", Chuck. May all his Family and Friends be Blessed!

I am 71 years old and Johnny was a friend of mine on TV. His performance will always be remembered for a super sensitive, concerned and helpful son. I’m sure his legacy of powerful and good performances won’t be forgotten.❤️😃

As a small boy growing up watching "The Rifleman" I still get chills watching the opening to the show. I counted 13 shots. I decided to check out the web site, and was aw struck to learn of the passing of Johnny Crawford: Not more than 90 days ago, and he was born on March 26, same as me. RIP Johnny.

I just found out a couple of days ago that Johnny had passed. I would like to wish the family my condolences. I am a farmer who grew up watching the Rifleman in the fifties and sixties. I can only say how sad I am that he has passed. He was an inspiration to me as I was growing up as well as I’m sure he was to others. If the young men of our current generation would like a role model, I would recommend they watch episodes of The Rifleman and model themselves after Mark McCain. Thanks Mark, (Johnny), hope to meet you one day. Thanks for all the memories.

Huge fan and followed Johnny's career as it took on new directions. I am incredibly sad to read of his passing. It seems that the good character portrayed by Mark McCain was simply as continuation of Johnny's actions in real life. My condolences.

Dear Charlotte: My sincere condolences on the loss of your beloved husband. Our family has enjoyed the Rifleman for years. Just this month we discovered it was available to watch again, and are enjoying it again. I like to look up show trivia while watching and discovered the news of Johnny's passing. How sad I felt at his loss, especially the last living link to a classic show. His wonderful boyish smile still the same after all the years. I especially felt bad to learn of his suffering a horrible disease. I empathize, my sister lost her husband this year to a horrible disease, he was only 71. That Johnny was taken at 75 still seems like he was too young and we were cheated. But thanks to him for hours of good will and moral entertainment, that will live on.

My heart is heavy recalling the passing of my boyhood idol Johnny Crawford (same age, month, and yr). I heard about Johnny in of all places: a father-son barber shop yesterday (important news travels slowly for me). The producers, directors, and writers knew who they had in Mark and "pa" McCain especially in the 50's-60's where the tag of "father-son estrangement" was so prevalent. The interaction between father and son was so authentic. Realism can only describe the McCains in both happiness and teaching which was so evident in what was the "Golden-Age" of television my generation and Johnny's ushered in. I couldn't sleep last night distracted with the loss of Johnny so I got up and read. I read a lot. Currently I'm with Roger Rosenblatt ("The Story I Am") and so timely he writes about his mother and Alzheimers. Roger writes: "The thing about Alzheimers is that if it lasts long enough, it takes away everything, not only by erasing the person you once knew but by erasing the you you knew, too,....." The essence of a very tragic disease so eloquently written. The thing is as long as I breathe Johnny's memory will remain. Thank you Charlotte... Read more

Thank you Charlotte for relating Johnny's last breathing moments. As a retired RN I only wish I could have been there to share with two exceptional human beings.
Thank you also Charlotte, Bobby, the Connors family, and all who contributed to the livelihood of Johnny Crawford. RIP my boyfriend. Well deserved.

….meant to add, he intones this as the final bars of Battle Hymn of the Republic play loud & proud - the screaming match that precedes it between Sheridan & the Rebel, is loud & believable - it’s the tops all the way around
