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.
