Socialite and heiress to the Johnson & Johnson fortune Casey Johnson passed away on December 29th in her home. With startlingly good fashion sense (rivaling friend Paris even!) like her pairing of Versace clothing with Prada eyewear, and a fun personality used to the limelight, Casey will be missed.
Casey began life with a silver spoon in her mouth, but soon discovered that she was diabetic. Her father, Robert Wood Johnson, dedicated much of his early fatherhood to helping find a cure for the disease that afflicted his daughter. While not cure for diabetes yet exists, great headway has been made in coping with the disease. Her father and her co-wrote a book on dealing with diabetes when she was 14, no small feat for a youngster, and a demonstration that Casey was more than just a socialite and heiress.
Though she was playmates with Paris and Nicky Hilton, and Nicole Riche, Casey managed to remain a bit more responsible than her friends. She did have her moments in the spotlight, but overall remained a foundation unto herself.
She adopted a young girl from Kazakhstan in 2007 named Ava, whom she cared for lovingly. In addition, Casey was an outspoken supporter of homosexuality.
As a lesbian, she was often on the front pages as an unofficial spokesman for her way of life. Casey and her bisexual partner Tila Tequila were engaged on December 9th, 2009, just mere days before her death on the 29th. While police claim the death appeared natural, we await the release of toxicology reports.
