In loving memory of

Sgt. LaDavid Terrence Johnson
January 2, 1992 - October 4, 2017

Ladavid T. Johnson was born in Miami, Florida to Samara Johnson and Terrance McGriff on January 2, 1992. At the tender age of 5 his care was entrusted to Richard and Cowanda Johnson after his mother passed in September of 1999.

During his early years, Ladavid was involved in many activities and enjoyed playing optimist football at Risco Park. He attended Dade County Public Schools and graduated from Miami Carol City Senior High in 2010 and continued his education at AIT for mechanical engineering. It was during his early school years that he met his best friend, Myeshia Manual, who would later become his wife. They would go on to be wed on August 22, 2014 and together have three children, Ah'Leesya, Ladavid Jr and La'Shee (unborn).

Ladavid was employed at Wal-Mart in the produce department. He would remove the front wheel of his bike and ride to and from work earning him the title of "Wheelie King".

Sgt Johnson left for his second deployment to Africa on August 28th, 2017. It would be here that God opened the windows of heaven and sent forth his angels to call his child home.

"To The Family of SGT LaDavid T. Johnson I'M FREE Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free, I'm following the path God laid for me. I took his hand when I heard his call, I turned my back and left it all. I could not stay another day, To laugh, to love, to work, to play. Tasks left undone must stay that way, I've found that peace at the close of the day. If my parting has left a void, Then fill it with remembered joy. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, Ah yes, these things I too will miss. Be not burdened with times of sorrow, I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow. My Life's been full, I savoured much, Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch, Perhaps my time seemed all too brief, Don't lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift up your heart and share with me, God wanted me now, He set me free. With All My Love and Sympathy For Your Wife, Children, Father, Brothers, Sisters, Aunts, Uncle, nieces, nephews, and a host Family, Friends and your Fellow Military Family Ms. Lillie "

He did not "sign on" for a mission we have not heard about; and he knew, if he perished in the service of his country, that his family would be treated respectfully, as they should be. I honor & respect you as a fallen soldier, I love you & your wife, children, mother, father, and siblings & I cannot begin to express how much you have given or how much we owe you.
