David Vollmer, 84, of Oakland, Tennessee, entered the presence of the Lord on May 28, 2025. David was born on May 24, 1941, in Chicago, Illinois. He proudly served in the United States Navy and later became a devoted member and employee of Redeemer Evangelical Church in Collierville, Tennessee, where his faith and service were deeply felt by those around him.
