David Leon Johnson, Age 63 of North Chesterfield, VA.

David affectionately known as "Duck," was the 7th child of the late Johnnie and Ella Johnson. He was born in Washington, DC and attended public schools where he graduated from Theodore Roosevelt High. He started working for the Department of Defense while still in high school as a summer intern and was employed there as a Financial Analyst until his retirement in May, 2006.

Duck was a very mellow, laid back individual who did not bother anyone. He was always known, even as a child, to be a calm, sweet and caring person, however if you crossed him you had the chance to see the "other David". He enjoyed looking at Historical Cars, the Redskins and playing the Lottery.

Family was very important to Duck. He was a great source of joy and help to his Mother while she was living. He was always concerned about his sisters, brothers, nieces and nephews. He enjoyed hearing about them and what they were doing. He was a great "big" brother to his younger brothers Oscar, Tommie and Larry. Though he never married, his constant companion for over 30 years was his beloved Dorothy. She and her children and grandchildren were a source of great happiness to him.

David had two sisters, Johnnie Mae Johnson and Barbara Austin; and two brothers, Johnnie Jr. and Ellis, who preceded him in death.
