David Kuhn

David Wayne Kuhn, born on August 25, 1961, in Crystal Springs, Mississippi, passed away peacefully on February 26, 2026, in Alexandria, Louisiana. He was 64 years old.

David spent his early years in Florence, Mississippi, where he grew up working the hay fields alongside his father and uncle. His youth was filled with cherished memories of hunting and fishing with cousins and enjoying life with his three siblings. A graduate of Florence High School, David entered the workforce immediately after graduation. Known for his strong work ethic and dedication to providing for his family, he held various roles throughout his career. He worked at GES and later Gainco before retiring from Kanawha out of Ohio.

Throughout his life, David lived in several states, including Mississippi, Texas, Ohio, and most recently Louisiana, where he resided with his youngest son. His travels brought him countless lifelong friendships and allowed him to leave a lasting impression on everyone he met. David’s warmth and character were evident to all who crossed his path.

A man of deep faith, David loved the Lord and relied heavily on his relationship with God throughout his life. Even during challenging times and illness, his faith remained steadfast. He instilled this love of Christ into his three sons—David Scott Kuhn (Kristy) of Plymouth, Indiana; Mitch Kuhn (Brittney) of Lake, Mississippi; and Brian Kuhn (Amanda) of Mangum, Louisiana—whom he loved dearly. His sons were a source of immense pride for him.

While David adored his children, nothing brought him greater joy than being "Papaw" to his beloved grandchildren: Noah, Italy, Paris, Lily, Skylar, Brayden, Liam, Lexi, and Anna Clair. His role as a grandfather was one he treasured above all else.

David is also survived by his brother Buddy Kuhn (Anne) of Brandon, Mississippi; sisters Rhonda Clanton (Mo) of Florence, Mississippi; Linda Clanton of Ridgeland, Mississippi; as well as numerous nieces and nephews who held a special place in his heart. He was predeceased by his parents Jimmy Dale and Dreda Clanton.

David requested to be cremated as part of his final wishes. His legacy lives on through the love he shared with family and friends and the faith he so deeply embraced.

May David’s memory bring comfort to those who knew him and serve as a reminder of a life well-lived in faith and love. A Memorial Service will be held on March 7, 2026, from 02:00 PM to 04:00 PM at Mtn Creek Baptist Church 1207 HWY 469 S. Church will open at noon to receive any flowers
