Obituary For Daniel Lamar "Dank" Johnson

Daniel Lamar “Dank” Johnson, 27, of Bristol, Florida, from the Sweetwater Community, born on August 8, 1998, to Carla Hall and Cardrico Mosley, and entered into eternal rest on November 9, 2025. Daniel was known for his big heart, bold spirit, and the love he carried for his family, friends, and everyone blessed to cross his path.

Daniel attended the Liberty County School System, where he proudly played football and baseball. Whether on the field or supporting from the sidelines, he was a natural source of energy and encouragement. Off the field, Daniel was a true country boy at heart. He enjoyed riding ATVs, detailing cars, listening to music, fishing, hunting, and spending time outdoors. He took great pride in raising his pit bulls, caring for them with dedication, and even nursing them himself to ensure they were healthy and loved. As a country boy, he was seldom seen without wearing his boots, jeans, camouflage jackets, plain shirts, and a hat. When he was not wearing his boots, he often wore his infamous black Air Force 1 shoes or black Crocs along with white crew socks and simple t-shirts. The outdoors was his peace, and country living was his identity.

Daniel’s personality was unforgettable. His distinct voice, warm and booming laugh, and wild, entertaining dance moves made every gathering memorable. He brought joy, humor, and pure life to family events and bonfires, and his smile alone could lift even the heaviest spirit. He often carried a smirk on his face, and that was when you knew he was about to say or do something unforgettable. Daniel had a joyful and magnetic personality that made others feel good simply by being near him. He was known for cracking jokes at the perfect moment, keeping everyone laughing even when they tried totay serious.

Beneath his strong exterior, Daniel was a caring and compassionate man. He was a loving father, son, brother, cousin, and friend. He was a protector and a role model to his siblings, dependable and always ready to lend a hand. He carried a protective spirit and often took on burdens so the people he loved would not have to.

Above all, Daniel took tremendous pride in being a father. Daniel and his daughter, Cimani, shared a bond that was inseparable when they were together, and their moments were often filled with laughter, playfulness, and a kind of joy that only the two of them understood. His daughter, Cimani, was the center of his world. He spoke of her often and with so much love, hope, and excitement for her future. Daniel was also a devoted son and grandson who deeply cherished his family.

Daniel shared a beautiful and unbreakable bond with his mother, Carla Hall. He always said he was her “headache,” but that only brought them closer. They laughed together, supported one another, and shared a connection built on trust, joy, and love. Daniel always credited his mother for teaching him how to cook, proudly insisting that he was better at it than anyone. He also held a close relationship with his father figure, Zary White, who provided guidance, strength, and fatherly support throughout Daniel’s life. Daniel held love in his heart for his father, Cardrico Mosley, and they were steadily strengthening their bond.

Daniel also held great respect and love for Allen Johnson, another meaningful male figure in his life. Daniel visited him often with his brother Austin, and their time together brought comfort, guidance, and a sense of brotherhood.

Daniel also shared a warm bond with Decca, who embraced him with genuine care. He often stopped by to visit, enjoy time with his brothers, or relax, and the first thing he did was check the refrigerator and fix himself a glass of Kool-Aid.

He leaves behind his beloved daughter, Cimani Johnson; his mother, Carla Hall; his stepfather, Zary White; and his father, Cardrico Mosley (Tamiko).

Daniel was blessed with a large and loving family, and he shared a special bond with all of his siblings. He leaves treasured memories with his sisters, Zaikeria White, Zala White, Zanae White, and Tariyah Mosley, and his brothers, Austin Johnson, Shamon Mosley, Jarian (Torronica) Mosley, Ashton Mosley, Camari Mosley, and Chaz White. Daniel loved them deeply and protected them fiercely, always doing what he could to carry the weight so they would not have to.

Daniel’s memory is cherished by his maternal grandmother, Janie Hall; paternal great-grandmother, Mary Mosley; and paternal grandfathers, Wade White and Willie Mosley.

He leaves behind a host of aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews, extended family members, and friends who loved him dearly.

Though Daniel’s time on earth was far too short, his life was filled with joy, courage, laughter, and purpose. He lived boldly, loved deeply, and uplifted others with a spirit that was strong, warm, and unforgettable. His legacy will forever remain in the hearts of all who knew him, and the impact he made will continue to live on.
