Dave graduated from Osbourn High School in 1975. He was passionate about anything that had an engine. He grew up playing sports and passed that love on to his children.

Dave was the sole proprietor of Dave Johnstone Contracting, Inc, a business he ran for over 40 years. His work will live on in many of his beloved friends and families’ homes for years to come.

Dave loved his dirt bike, fixing cars, watching his children participate in sports, cheering on the Ravens and his garage, where he had 3 TVs to watch every game and race. He could fix anything for anyone. Dave loved his dogs. He had the ability to bring out the best in everyone.

Dave attended every dance recital, sporting event and graduation filled with pride and love for his children. He loved his wife and spent almost every evening in his garage with her and their dog Lilly and waving to and chatting with the neighbors as they passed by.

Remaining to cherish Dave’s memory are his wife, Pam, their kids Jesse and Joey, his mother Blanche Johnstone and his sister Jonalu Johnstone, her partner Jane Powell and many cousins.
