David Johnson Obituary

David Earl Johnson, 69, passed away peacefully on May 19, 2025, at the Hospice House of Greenwood after a life lived to the fullest. He was predeceased by his parents, John Crawford and Ruby Johnson, as well as his beloved wife, Patsy Johnson.

David is survived by his loving partner, Erika Barth; his son, Joe Johnson (Lauren); his daughter, Sheena Owings (Tyler); and his grandchildren-Cameron and Caleb Beckham, Emma, Sophie, Dawson, and Sullivan George, and Jack, Maverick, and Rawlings Johnson. He is also survived by his brothers, Ron Johnson (Margot) and Ray Johnson (Lesa), as well as a special cousin, Cindy Griffin.

A true adventurer at heart, David spent his life pushing the limits-racing dirt bikes, building and flying airplanes, and even jumping out of them. He found peace on the water with a fishing rod in hand, and joy in every thrill life had to offer.

David's bold spirit, deep love for his family, and relentless pursuit of adventure will be remembered always.

His funeral will be held Friday, May 23, at Siloam Baptist Church in Ninety Six. Visitation will be from 1:00 to 2:45 p.m., with the service beginning at 3:00 p.m.
