He was born in Norfolk to the late William and Melva White Johnson and was a longtime member of Holy Angels Catholic Church in Cradock.

He is survived by his son David Johnson, Jr. (Ashley); grandchildren Lillie, Landry, and Leighton; brother Mark (Jennie); sister Becky Szymanski (Larry), and many nieces, nephews and close friends. He will also be dearly missed by his friends of the Blue Knights and the Police Association of Virginia.

In addition to his parents, David was predeceased by his beloved wife of 41 years, Susanne; brother (Donald) and mother-in-law (Isabella Nelson).

A Mass of the Resurrection will be celebrated at 11:00 a.m. on Wednesday, January 18, at Holy Angels Catholic Church, 34 Afton Pkwy. The family will receive friends an hour prior. At the conclusion of the service, the family invites everyone to the Lake Drummond Masonic Lodge (509 George Washington Hwy N) for food and fellowship. A private graveside service will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to the Blue Knights Virginia V or the Police Association of Virginia.
