David Johnson, Jr. was born on January 19, 1964, in Bunnell, Florida. He was known to his family and friends as “Big Man”. When he was in the 6th grade, he moved to East Chicago, Indiana. He attended Roosevelt High School where he was a member of the football and wrestling teams.
In 1985, Big Man relocated to Melbourne (Eau Gallie), Florida. In 1986, he married and with that union came a beautiful daughter. Big Man was a construction worker prior to his injury. He loved home cooked meals and being outdoors. In his later years, Big Man moved to Orlando, Florida where he resided the remainder of his life.
Big Man loved his family and never met a stranger. Big Man was also a caring and protective father. But one of his greatest joy was being “Grandpa.” He loved God and accepted Jesus as his Lord and Savior.
On July 10, 2021, God in His infinite wisdom and power called Big Man home to rest.
He is preceded in death by his dear grandparents, Robert and Carrie Williams and Harry Johnson, Sr.
He leaves to cherish his memory: a loving and dear daughter, Quasheena (Javares) Knight; two precious grandsons, Javares Knight II (“Deuce”) and Asher David Knight; a loving mother and stepfather, Roberta (Jesse) Giddeon; a father and stepmother, David (Rhonda) Johnson, Sr.; a dear grandmother, Luella Johnson; five dear sisters, Latricia (Roosevelt) Bank, Juanita Giddeon, Melinda (David) Campbell, Laura Giddeon and Sylvia Giddeon; five brothers, Harry Johnson, Samuel (Selena) Giddeon, Terry (Tajuna) Johnson, Lucious Scott and Gary Johnson; special friends, Cathy Bradshaw, Anna Thomas, Darlene & family, Grace Carter and Timothy Williams; a host of aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, extended family and friends.
