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.

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.
