David was born on March 13, 1947, in Petersburg, Virginia. He retired as a primary technician at Brown and Williamson Tobacco Company, and later worked at NAPA Auto Parts in Warner Robins for several years. His commitment to his work was matched only by his passion for sports, as he was an avid supporter of Mercer University and the University of Georgia. David was a long-time member of Stone Edge Church.

Affectionately called "Papa" by family and close friends, David's legacy is carried forward by the countless memories shared among those who had the privilege of knowing him.

David will be lovingly remembered by his wife of 53 years, Janice Norman Hamlin of Macon; son, Michael Eugene Hamlin (Gwen) of Macon; grandchildren, Brianna Alexis Hamlin and Michael Alexander Hamlin, both of Macon; sister, Joyce Elaine Hamlin of Colonial Heights, Virginia

David was preceded in death by his father, George Preston Hamlin; mother, Edna Brown Hamlin; and stepmother, Audrey Marks Hamlin.
