In addition to his duties leading Tullytown firefighters, Johnson, 50, served as a member of the Bucks County Firefighter and EMS Memorial Honor Guard that attended events throughout the county.
Johnson, who served in the fire service for close to 30 years, was a father and husband.
On Friday night, Tullytown firefighters parked their trucks outside the local hospital where Johnson was being treated and switched on the emergency lights as a show of support.
