Kayla Spangler, 17, of Metamora, died Tuesday after a nearly two-year-long fight against Glioblastoma, according to her obituary through Urban Winkler Funeral Home in Connersville.
"Kayla thank you for being a fan," Johnson said."I know that you're fighting hard. Keep fighting. Keep inspiring everybody around you, including me now.""You're my biggest fan," Johnson said."Well, now I'm your biggest fan."
