Douglas adored his entire family and held them close to his heart.In addition to his mother, he was preceded in death by two brothers, Robert and Randall Johnson; and his sister-in-law, Melanie Johnson.Friends will be received on Friday from 2 to 4 and 6 to 8 p.m. and Saturday from 10am until the time of service at 11am in the Tabernacle Baptist Church, 630 3rd Ave., Beaver Falls. Rev. Dwight Banks will officiate.Arrangements were handled by the Gabauer Funeral Home and Cremation Services, Inc., 1133 Penn Ave., New Brighton.A special thank you to his fellow co-workers at Heritage Valley-Beaver who they lovingly referred to him as “Brown Bear”.To Yvonne “Bunny”- Breaker Breaker. To Kim- Peace Out. To Kelly- Here We Go Steelers, Here We Go! To Dad- I LOVE YOU POPS.” I have fought the good fight. I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness.” 2Timothy 4:7

Pastor Melvin T. and Rev. Thelma H. Jackson, along with the official board, extend to you, family members, are sincere and heartfelt sympathy to you. We ask that God would continue to watch over you in the absence of your loved one. Be encouraged, to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.

Dearest Doug, I was so sad to hear that you left us. We were great friends, great co-workers and talked about many things. I miss seeing you in town and getting a hug from you. Always missed and never forgotten…
