Douglas Garland Johnson "fondly known as Pliss or Dougie", departed this life for eternal rest on April 30, 2020 at the Henrico Doctors Hospital, Richmond, VA. He was born to the late Charles and Mamie Johnson in Beaverdam, VA on May 31, 1953. He attended Hanover County public schools. Douglas was baptized at Union Baptist Church at an early age, where he accepted the Lord as his Savior.

Douglas moved to Ashland, VA and worked at the Hanover County Recycle Company for many years. Upon the closing of that company he relocated to Good Neighbors Homes in Mechanicsville, VA. Douglas loved to be with his family and all who interacted with him came to adore him dearly. One of his favorite things to do was to go bowling with the guys from his group home. He liked to dance, be the first one to get the mail from the mailbox, ride in the front seat of the car, and of course be in charge. While he had some challenges, Douglas led a good and fruitful life. He will always be remembered for his kind spirit and joy for life.

Douglas was preceded in death by his brother, Leon G. Johnson and his sister, Jane A. Johnson. He leaves to cherish his memories a sister, Yvonne Cole (Chester) of Suitland, MD, and a brother, Charles C. Johnson Jr. (Janie) of Riverdale, MD; a devoted sister-in-law, Viola Johnson and devoted aunt Gloria Johnson, and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.
