Donald Johnson Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Akin Davis Funeral Home - Fort Myers on Jan. 5, 2026.
Donald Johnson lived his life grounded in faith, service, and a deep love for his family. He was a man of quiet strength and steady character, someone who didn't seek recognition but lived each day doing what he believed was right.

Donald proudly served in the United States Army, including time stationed overseas, and went on to spend more years serving others in various roles. His career included Lee County EMS, the Lee County Sheriff's Office, the Hendry County Sheriff's Office, and the United States Marshals Service. To Donald, wearing a uniform was never just a job, it was a responsibility he took seriously and carried with honor.

But more than anything, Donald was a family man. He was a devoted husband who led with love and faith, a steady and supportive father who was always there when needed, and a proud grandfather who found true joy in his grandchildren. He showed his love in simple, meaningful ways through his presence, his guidance, and his unwavering support. His family was his greatest blessing and his highest priority.

Donald's faith was a constant source of strength in his life. One of his favorite scriptures was Psalm 46, a passage that reflected the way he lived: "God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble." He trusted in God through every season of life and faced challenges with calm, faith, and perseverance.

Donald will be remembered for his servant's heart, his strong faith, and the love he poured into his family. He will be deeply missed, but those who loved him find comfort in knowing he is now at peace and resting in the presence of the Lord.

In accordance with his wishes, in lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Alva Church of God Women's Ministry

Just wanted to share with his family and friends how much Respect I have for Donnie. Always kind, always asking about my business, my family and he was without a doubt he was a believer in his community and the people he knew. He was most assuredly the kindest gentleman.
Keep him in your Heart.

I am so sorry for your and the families loss I met Donnie while working as a nurse in the ED at FT Myers Community Hospital/SWFRMC back in the day. Even in the worst of times in the ED Donnie was skilled, compassionate and brought comfort to tragic situations. And his sense of humor made us all smile. He will be thought of and remembered fondly. Sending all his loved ones positive thoughts and prayers in this most difficult time. Debbie Wiles
