When people pass away, it is so common to hear how good of a person they were. But in this case, saying he was a good person does not do it justice. Bubba was a dedicated professional who always had a smile on his face and a kind word to say. Bubba never met a stranger or had an enemy. Even the people he arrested would say kind things about him. He was an excellent mentor to me working shift with him. His personality, smile and joyful laugh will be remembered by many. The Montgomery County Sheriff's Department and community has suffered a great loss that will be hard to leave behind. My prayers go to Jennifer, Shelby, Ray Ray, and the rest of his family. RIP Deputy David "Bubba" Johnson. Matthew 5:9

Bubba was a great person to work with. We worked together on all the shifts since he has been with the Sheriff's department. He would always have a smile when he came to work. He was always concerned about his co-workers and their safety. Bubba never met a stranger and knew a lot of people in the communtiy. My heart goes out to his wife and daughter. May God be with you and watch over you. RIP good friend and brother.

TO THE FAMILY, FRIENDS AND COLLEAGUES OF MONTGOMERY COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT, DEPUTY SHERIFF DAVID "BUBBA" JOHNSON.
My heart is filled with great sadness at learning of the lost of your loved one and fellow Deputy Sheriff.
We in the Law Enforcement Community are a family.
Though we may wear different uniforms and have different badges, shields or stars pinned upon our chest, our area of enforcement may vary, we consist of many different agencies from across the nation, for we are : Municipal Police Officers, Sheriff's Deputies, State Police Investigators, State Highway Patrol Troopers, Conservation Officers, College Campus Police Officers, Correctional Officers and Federal Agents just to name a few.
We patrol small towns, large cities, college campuses, county roads, state highways, state parks and the United States Borders.
Whether active duty or retired, we are one family, a Law Enforcement Family, brothers and sisters bonded together by HONOR, SERVICE and PRIDE.
Daily we honor our fallen brothers and sisters never forgetting their sacrifice.
Daily our position is clear that we will SERVE and PROTECT our communities without faltering and with no hesitation.
Daily we show pride in our chosen profession LAW ENFORCEMENT, for we willingly walk the line of GOOD over EVIL facing the unknown with COURAGE keeping our trust and faith in GOD.
We know that evil roam these streets and at any moment in the course of performing our duties the ultimate sacrifice might be required of us in the service to our community, for LAW ENFORCEMENT is not a job but a calling and only a few will make the decision to commit to that calling to serve for some will give all that they have.
DEPUTY JOHNSON
You did not die in vain
You sacrificed your life in the service to the citizens of Montgomery County in the State of Tennessee with Honor, Pride and Distinction.
I'm proud to have worn the uniform of a Law Enforcement Officer like you did.
I'm proud to have pinned the badge upon my chest like you did.
I'm proud to have SERVED and PROTECTED my community as you did.
I'm proud to call you my BROTHER!
I commend you my fallen brother for making the ultimate sacrifice in the performance of your duty.
For you left us doing what you chose to do.
Performing a job you were trained to do.
Upholding the oath you swore to do.
Most importantly doing what you loved to do........................SERVING and
PROTECTING your community with HONOR and PRIDE making a better and safer place for us all.
FINAL CALL
DEPUTY JOHNSON STATUS...............DEPUTY JOHNSON STATUS..............
