David Lloyd Johnson, 77, of Cassopolis, passed away unexpectedly on Sunday, December 13, 2020, at Spectrum Health Lakeland, St. Joseph.

David was born on February 21, 1943, to David and Anna (Torkelson) in Elmira, NY. He attended Loma Linda University School of Dentistry and graduated with a DDS degree in 1969. Immediately after graduating from dental school, David served in the United States Navy as a dentist in Adak, Alaska. Following his honorable service, David purchased a dental practice in South Lancaster, Massachusetts. In 1977, David moved to Bangladesh with his wife, Judy Johnson, and two small children, where he served as a missionary for 25 years. During this time, he completely created and implemented the dental standards and procedures used there today. On October 9, 1988, he married the former Minu Adhikary in Dhaka, Bangladesh. In 2002, he and Minu moved to Niles, Michigan and in 2005, David opened his practice, David L. Johnson DDS. He owned and operated his dental practice for eight years. The practice is now known as Four Flags Family Dentistry. Though he was a dentist professionally, his passion was birdwatching. He truly traveled the world as a birder and was at one point one of the most accomplished in the world. David was also the author of two books, "Two Guys and a Bucket" and "One Guy and a Briefcase." Most of all, David cherished his family.
