Comments about ‘The do-gooder: St. George man works to fulfill promise, helps in Haiti — and gains perspective’

Jeremy Johnson is a great guy!

The saying is "You don't choose Haiti, Haiti chooses you." Sounds like this man has been chosen.

What a stud! I love seeing people with money doing great things with it.

Jeremy Johnson is amazing. To have that much money and share like he does....who among us would give as freely as he does if we had that kind of money? May you be blessed for your efforts so you can continue to share with, serve, help, and bless the lives of others. Thanks for the awesome example! For the rest of us "regulars" just remember, a little service goes a long way. Our "smaller" efforts are just as important! :)

Jeremy Johnson is awesome and very inspiring. How many of us, if we had that much money, would be so willing to give it away to help others? Thank you for your example! May you continue to be blessed as you serve, help, and give to others so the cycle continues. Those of us 'regulars' need to remember 'small' acts of service are just as important. Many small acts add up! Hopefully we can each serve with the talents and blessings we have in our lives to lighten the burdens of others. Thank you Jeremy Johnson for your amazing example!!

Jeremy has common sense. He sees what needs to be done to create the most good and then HE DOES IT! We should all follow his example.

This is a wonderful story of doing good. However it is sad that in order to make a real change in Haiti it will require a change in the government system. The Haitian bureaucracy prevents prosperity in Haiti. It is almost impossible to start a business. Yet Haiti is hardly 500 miles from Miami. They could make clothes and all sorts of things there. Why import from China, Indonesia, etc. Our government should insist on these changes. Without private property rights Haiti is doomed to continue as before. The people are very willing to work hard. Certainly those who have come to the US do.

This is a guy who's making a difference because he wants to do good, not because he wants public recognition. It's good that people spend their resources to improve life for others but how refreshing that this man issues no news releases, makes no "heads up" calls to the press, courts no public credit for his philanthropy and charity. He apparently is making no deals to have buildings named after him in exchange for his largesse. Others may be somewhat generous but Jeremy Johnson is truly Christ-like.

Everybody seems to want to give, this man did.

This is an incredible "good will to all men" lesson. Someone once told me, "Do the NEXT right thing." I think we should always bear that in mind when we have opportunities given to us to help others.

He may be criticized by others, but I have none.

Job very well done.

What a great humanitarian! Jeremy Johnson truly is the epitome of "SERVICE ABOVE SELF". We need more people like him in this world.
Way to go, Jeremy!

What an inspiring story. So refreshing to know there are individuals out there who first of all credit God because of their blessings, then remember a promise to do good with their wealth, then most importantly keep that promise! A great example to all of us. Too bad the overpaid athletes of this country haven't caught the same vision as Jeremy. Think of all the good their wealth could do in so many ways, instead of being spent to indulge their carnal wants. This story makes me want to put on my work clothes and help clean up Haiti, donate some more of my meager funds, or simply continue to pray for the people of Haiti, Chile, and others who suffer from a lack of basics.

I personally have been blessed from this man. He has given to myself and helped many other people that I know who have had times of struggle. I know first hand that this is not a one time thing for this man. He truly tries to be generous and helpful in many ways. I hope that he receives the comfort to his soul that he desires. Thank you Jeremy. Jon, Manti

I am lucky enough to have met this man in person, and believe me, this story is not just media hype. He really is as generous as this story says. His heart is pure and giving. I hope he is blessed for his generosity. He truly does make a difference in this world and I want to be just like him when I "grow up."

Really need to thank a guy like him who actually goes there and help.

Ok,
I admit.. Ive been a critic of Jeremy. Ive never met the man, but am familiar with how he makes his money. His businesses always reeked of scammyness.

The way that he lives, seemed to be a life of ultra worldliness.
Reading this article has softened my heart, and allowed me to see the human spiritual side of Jeremy. I hope is real and that it sticks. he will die like the rest of us, and I hope he can create a balance for his children.. We don't need another generation that is spoiled with greed.

Kudos to the man.

Jerry for Bishop. He has my blessing.

Jeremy is honest and most of all he loves other people more than himself...its an honor to call him a friend.

Dream Home...$6 million. Lamborguini...$150,000. Ferrari...$100,000. Knowing you brought food to at least 1 hungry child, Seeing a young girl's life saved becuase of your resources and talents...truly priceless. Even if his motives were vain to go to Haiti, what happened to him while he was there will live in his thoughts forever. This man cares, he doesn't know me, but I have heard his story first hand, and it is genuine. He is so down to earth it's amazing. Thanks for the example Jeremy. And Great Article!!
