The love of his life for forty years Leona Travis. Two previous wives Mary Jane Walls and Cindy Houghten.

David loved to hunt and fish. He loved to travel and see new things. He was always working on something. He made things work when others thought it was impossible. He may have had extra parts leftover. David would always tell stories about his life experiences to whoever would listen. David would call after a hard day’s work and say, “Meet me under the tree”. We would sit and have a cold drink and talk about the day.

David was an over the road truck driver for several years until he started doing commercial rebar. That’s where he found his knitch and excelled in career as a Rodbuster. He taught his sons the trade and several nephews. When he retired from construction, he went to work as a Driver with LCCA delivering meals to the homebound seniors. He received a Life Saving Award from LCCA for saving a life of one of their clients. His life was a remarkable one. His journey amazing. He loved life and lived it his way. He was loved by many and will be missed by all that knew him.
