A Light for Deshon

At Broad and Bay in Bloomfield, a beacon glows,

Where shadows whisper of hearts’ deep woes.

A plaque, a tree, a mother’s care,

Her love eternal, shining there.

Deshon’s smile, now etched in stone,

A handsome soul, forever known.

But the world grew brittle, cold, and gray,

When fate so cruel took him away.

A bus, unyielding, stole his breath,

Left a bridge to mark his death.

Twice it struck, then dragged him far,

Turning bright dreams into scars.

Yet from this pain, a light does rise,

A tree of life, beneath night skies.

It cannot bring him back, it's true,

But keeps his memory fresh and new.

A mother’s love, a boundless flame,

Each leaf and glow speaks his name.

Deshon lives on, in hearts that grieve,

A radiant spirit, never to leave.

So at the corner, let us pause,

And honor him, and all he was.

For though the world may move too fast,

This light ensures his love will last.

Honoring Deshon Johnson: A Heartfelt Thank You to Paula Peikes and a Call for Justice

We at the Deshon Johnson College Scholarship would like to extend our deepest gratitude to Paula Peikes from Bloomfield, New Jersey, for sponsoring a memorial tree in honor of my beloved son, Deshon Johnson. This beautiful tribute, located in Bloomfield, stands as a poignant reminder of Deshon’s life and the impact he had on those who knew him.

Deshon's life was tragically cut short when he was struck and killed by a Coach USA bus driven by Wilson Romain, who was operating NJ Transit bus 709. The incident occurred at the intersection of Broad Street and Bay Avenue. Despite clear evidence of negligence, Essex County has refused to erect a memorial for Deshon, likely due to their own fault in the matter. On that fateful day, the entire sidewalk was blocked off with no police officer present to ensure public safety. This in no way absolves Wilson Romain of his responsibility; he chose to ignore Deshon's signal to stop at the bus shelter. Instead, he accelerated, aimed the bus towards Deshon, struck him, and ultimately ran over him twice, dragging him to the corner of Broad Street and Bay Avenue.

To date, Wilson Romain has not faced any legal consequences for his actions. He has neither served jail time nor received a traffic ticket for killing Deshon. Shockingly, the prosecutor chose to cover up Deshon's death to protect the bus company.

We continue to seek justice for Deshon. His life and memory deserve recognition and respect, and those responsible for his death must be held accountable. Thank you, Paula, for your support and for helping us honor Deshon's memory. Together, we strive to ensure that justice is served.

vCoach USA bus driver Wilson Romaine purposely murdered my son operating an NJ Transit bus. He ran over my son twice then dragged him. The people on the bus told the driver to stop 3 times. The driver refused and dragged my son 50 to 100 feet. The bus driver never was charged because the prosecutor cover up his death for the bus company.
