LAS VEGAS, Nev. (FOX5) – A grieving widow is dealing with even more heartbreak after she said someone broke into her North Las Vegas home and stole her late husband’s comic book collection.
Amy Williams invited FOX5 into her home to detail the love she shared with her husband.
“He loved me like I never have been loved in my life,” Amy said.
Amy and her late husband, Johnny, blended both of their families and welcomed their son Makari together.
“He just wanted to love me for eternity,” Amy said.
However, eternity was cut short as Johnny died from a heart attack in 2022.
“Even though I didn’t get my forever, I am glad I gave him his forever,” Amy said. “He texted me on my phone,’ I was wanted to love you, please take care of my kids.’”
Those kids all knew Johnny was a man who loved his comic books.
“My husband was dyslexic and he learned to read from reading from comic books,” Amy said.
It was a passion he often shared on his YouTube Channel and had just started sharing with Makari, who was only 2 when Johnny died.
Johnny’s comic book collection wasn’t just any comic books; they were in Johnny’s family for four generations.
“He would have wanted them passed down to my son to my son’s kids,” Amy said.
Instead, that last wish from Johnny may never happen, as someone broke into Amy’s house earlier this month while she was out of town.
When she returned, she found that two bins filled with 400 of the comic books were gone.
“I went to go in my closet and I’m like, ‘Oh my god they are gone,’” Amy said.
Amy tells FOX5 even if she were to get 1 out of 400 of the comic books back, it would mean the world for her son to have that connection with his dad.
Amy disclosed to FOX5 that she has been struggling since Johnny died and still never thought to sell the comic books.
“You couldn’t put a price tag on it,” Amy said.
Her son Makari, now 4, was robbed of growing up with a dad, but now he is also robbed of sharing his dad’s passion.
“You broke my kid’s heart and you broke my family’s heart by doing what you did,” Amy said of the culprits.
Amy wants all comic book stores, as well as any buyers during private sales, to be on the lookout.
She tells FOX5 Johnny had some of the comic books graded and if they were to be sold, the name ‘Johnny Williams’ will be attached to it.
