Darell Johnson – a Porter/Transporter at Morristown Medical Center, Morristown, New Jersey – passed away on 18 April 2020 after suffering from COVID-19. Johnson was 43 years old.
Darell Johnson’s death has left a void in Morristown far bigger than his 360-pound frame, larger even, than the immense smile which, by all accounts, brightened every space he entered — from Morristown High School, where he was an administrative assistant; to the hospital, where he wheeled patients to their appointments; to local bars, where his primary weapons as a bouncer were his smile and calm demeanor.
Trish O’Keefe, president of Morristown Medical Center, cited Darell’s “unforgettable smile, and his extraordinary way of taking care of his patients and making each one of them feel special” during his decade working in patient transport. “He will be sorely missed.”
