David Levi Johnson

David Levi Johnson, age 75, of Jonesboro, Arkansas, departed this life on March 29th, 2026 at Flo and Phil Hospice House. He was born on February 4, 1950, in Mississippi.

David was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend. He proudly served his country as a veteran of the United States Army. Throughout his life, he found joy in the simple things—spending peaceful days fishing, cheering on his favorite sports teams, and most of all, cherishing time with his family.

He was a man of faith and attended Carter’s Temple Church, where he was a member of the Methodist community.

He was preceded in death by his parents, David Lee Johnson and Charlie Mae Gray and two sisters, Willie Ann Rucker and Stella Mitchell.

David is survived by his loving wife, Delaine LaGrone Johnson, of the home; three sons, Daniel Johnson, David Johnson Jr and Chouncy Jackson.; three daughters, Stephanie Johnson, Nene Johnson, and Meagan Johnson; and one stepdaughter, Latashia LaGrone. He is also survived by his brothers, Harry Lee Johnson, LC Johnson, George Ray Mitchell (wife Joanne), and Willie Lee Mitchell; and his sisters, Lois Mitchell and Mary Roberson. He leaves behind a host of grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and extended family who will deeply miss him.

A visitation will be held on Saturday, April 11, from 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. at Emerson Funeral Home, with funeral services following at 10:00 a.m. Reverend Herman Williams will be officiating. 

David’s legacy of love, strength, and dedication to family will live on in all who knew and loved him.
