Obituary
Send FlowersFormer classmate Rebecca Dingus considered David H. Ford IV a friend and an example of human courage. "He was wonderful, such a strong person," she said. "He had been through so much. He lost his father at a young age. His house burned down our senior year, but he kept going. He had such a big heart." Ford, 20, of Ironton, Ohio, was killed Sept. 16 by a roadside bomb in Baghdad. A 2003 high school graduate, he was assigned to Fort Stewart. "My son was my son. I don't like to put the 'hero' line to someone," said his mother, Violet Ford. "He was my pride and joy. We are just average people, no better or worse than anyone else." Ford intended to go to college after his military service was completed. "He was interested in forensic science," said Ford's cousin, J.P. Harris. "He wanted to get into 'CSI'-type of investigations." Ford and his older brother Army Cpl. Ray Ford followed their late father, David Ford III, into the military. "He was a nice young man," said his brother. "He was a typical little brother _ he liked to fight a lot. He liked to do stupid things, run around and have fun."
Guest Book
I know this was 16 years ago, but still, to this day, I remember the drive me, my mom and sister made from GA all the way to Ohio to pay respects to a young man she met online playing poker. His family welcomed us in with arms wide open and I wrote a poem for this man I never met. I only wish I could let them know I have never forgotten his name.

In Memory of David ~ (Debra Estep)
Holding you all in my thoughts and prayers.
The Wind on The Downs
“I like to think of you as brown and tall,
As strong and living as you used to be,
In khaki tunic, Sam Brown belt and all,
And standing there and laughing down at me.
Because they tell me, dear, that you are dead,
Because I can no longer see your face,
You have not died, it is not true, instead
You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe;
I hear you...
