LANGDON, David Chan

Sept. 27, 1942 - May 14, 2021

David Chan Langdon went Home to be with The Lord and his beautiful sons, Chan and Ian, in Heaven on May 14th. David was born in Manchester, Kentucky, and attended a one room schoolhouse, worked on the family tobacco farm and helped run his beloved

Mother, Malva Hacker's boarding house until they moved to Hamilton, Ohio, when he was in the 8th grade. David was so intelligent that he tested out of the 9th grade and went straight to the 10th.

David was a savvy entrepreneur, real estate investor, owner of several successful businesses, a Master Custom Carpenter, a farmer (of trees, llamas, swans and ostriches), the world's greatest cook, an exceptional Father and an amazing mentor to many. David was a patriotic Veteran and served in the U.S. Army as a Tank Operator in Germany when the Berlin Wall was built.

In David's 'retirement' years, he was a contractor for Lowe's in the door installation department and did not retire from there until he was 75 because he loved to work! He was awarded the highest accolades that Lowe's bestows due to his impeccable craftsmanship and dedication.

David loved to entertain and spend quality time with his family and friends! He enjoyed cooking, woodworking, gardening and great music. David was a lifelong woodsman, small game hunter, real deal survivalist and an environmentalist. He was a man of many talents, a forward thinker, an innovator, a

brilliant mind, ahead of his time, ever so caring, loving, and kind. David, being the mentor that he was, inspired so many people to believe in themselves and to follow their dreams, which has made so many others live their best life!

David was preceded in death by his 2 precious sons, Chan Langdon and Ian C. Langdon, his chosen brother and best friend, John Julian, his parents, 2 sisters, 3 brothers, numerous aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and many friends that he loved dearly.

David is survived by his daughter, Vida Maria Langdon (Chris) Calender, his former wife, Sandra Langdon, his brothers Don (Dorothy) Langdon, Danny (Debbie) Walker, many loving

nieces, nephews, family members and dear friends, who

already miss his infectious smile, beautiful, sparkly hazel eyes, contagious laughter, sound advice and words of wisdom.

There will be a Celebration of Life to honor David at Pyramid Hill Sculpture Park at The Lodge on Friday, June 4, 2021, from 5 PM - 9 PM. Dinner and beverages will be served.

Happy Father's Day in Heaven, Daddy! The world is more dim without your light! But as my Heavenly Angel, you shine so bright! I wish we were cooking together today and taking that woods walk... We are... :) Just in a different 'way'. Always by my side, forever I know.

My Dearest Father and Friend

Who would I be, what would I do? What would I believe in
If it hadn’t been for you?

I ask myself these questions after meeting so many who are “lost”.
And I know that thanks to you Dad, I will never have to pay that “cost”.

For you showed me the way through the power of your dreams.
You proved that anything can be accomplished, no matter how far-fetched it seems.

You built us a home, a sanctuary, a safe-haven, if you will.
With nothing but a desire, your heart, your bare hands, and your skill.

This is when I realized how truly magical a goal could be.
I thank you so deeply for passing this treasure on to me.

I was listening Dad, I heard every word that you said.
I was watching Dad, every gesture and look in your eyes I read.

What did I hear, what did I see? Where is he coming
From and how will this affect me?

Such simple questions, to some they may seem.
But from what I observed, you were simply teaching us to dream.

You taught me to make a decision, oh how many possible roads there are to take.
And you said that I can even chose a different path, for my own road I can make.

You stand your ground and speak from your heart.
You are honest, genuine, loving, and smart.

You are before your time, even misunderstood by a few.
Still you follow your own lead and give so much of you.

You are stronger, quicker, and more wise than most.
And since you are my Daddy, I have earned the right to boast!

I thank you from the bottom of my soul,
For sharing with me the power of a goal.

Thank you for listening, for talking, and for being my friend.
For as long as I shall live, my gratefulness to you will never end.

Thank you for being you and for being the most wonderful father ever.
