Shildes "David" C. Johnson

Pastor David Johnson, 64, of Wantage was a husband, father, brother, son and friend who will be missed by all; most importantly he was a follower of God. David went to be with the Lord on Saturday, June 6, 2020 with a heart full of love and gratefulness to God.

David spent more than 40 years sharing the Gospel and teaching that salvation is a gift from God through faith in Jesus (Ephesians 2:8-9) to people all over the world. He will be remembered for his kind, loving, strong and faithful spirit who brought joy, laughter, love and the Gospel to all.

David will be dearly missed by many including his wife, Arlene; his daughters, Deborah, Melissa and husband, Irvin, and Hannah; his sister, Sheryl and husband, Joe, and their family; and his cousins, Nancey, Kathy, Kristen and Tricia.
