Wactor's mother, Scarlett, reflected on her son's death in a May 26 interview with Fox News.

"What I'd like for everybody to know is that they took a great human being," Scarlett said. "He lived life to the fullest, he chased his dreams (and was) a very optimistic, positive person."

She concluded: "I hope they catch (Wactor's killers), and I hope there’s justice for Johnny. That’s all I can hope and pray for. I will see him again."

Wactor's agent, David Shaul, previously remembered the actor as a "spectacular human being" in a statement shared with Variety.

"Our time with Johnny was a privilege we would wish on everyone," Shaul said. "He would literally give you the shirt off his back. After over a decade together, he will leave a hole in our hearts forever."
