Johnson, David Bradley's Obituary
David Bradley Johnson
December 27, 2022 – November 18, 2025
With hearts full of love and sorrow, we celebrate the life of David Bradley Johnson, whose two bright, joy-filled years brought laughter, adventure, and unforgettable memories to all who knew him.
David was the kind of child who lit up any room he toddled into. You simply couldn’t help but love him. His smile was constant—cheerful, mischievous, and often a clue that he had just gotten into something he definitely shouldn’t have. From proudly carrying around the toilet bowl brush to returning home from daycare covered head-to-toe in blue food coloring, David approached life with curiosity, humor, and endless energy.
He loved food (all kinds, all the time), music that got his little body wiggling, and touching anything within reach—and especially the things that weren’t. When he wasn’t off on his next adventure, he gave warm, heart-melting snuggles. More than anything, he adored his big brothers, Wyatt and Allen, who were his heroes and favorite playmates.
David was born on December 27, 2022, to August Matthews and Bradley Johnson, who treasured every moment with their spirited, lovable boy. He is also deeply loved and remembered by his grandparents: Sandy Matthews, David Matthews, Sherry Johnson, and Albert Johnson, along with many extended family members and friends whose lives he brightened.
Though his time was heartbreakingly short, David’s impact was immeasurable. His joy, his curiosity, and his beautiful, mischievous spirit will live on in the hearts of all who loved him.
David was a gift—brief, brilliant, and unforgettable.
