David Nolan Obituary


Family-Placed Death Notice

NOLAN, David T. David T. Nolan, 64, completed his journey on September 9, 2010. He died of a brain tumor after a short illness. He was born in Galveston, TX and graduated from University of Houston with a degree in Economics. There were many things that defined David's life. He was a commercial designer and builder who took great pride in the quality of his work. He was an avid reader and always had a keen interest in learning. He was proud of his years as a Boy Scout growing up in Texas, and was a passionate volunteer Assistant Boy Scout Leader, volunteer at Stone Mountain Co-op, and volunteer at Trickum Middle School. He eagerly looked forward to the day when his son, Morrison would earn his Eagle Scout rank. David had learned many things on his journey, but his most valued discovery was that meaning in life is not found in what we receive, but in what we give. He defined his life by his love for his family; it was the gift he cherished most. He is survived by his wife, Linda Strow, and his sons Morrison Nolan and David Glen Nolan. He was preceded in death by his father, mother, and brother. A memorial service will be held on Sunday September 12 at 3 pm at Eastminster Presbyterian Church, 5801 Hugh Howell Road, Stone Mountain, GA. Burial will take place in Custar, Ohio. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that contributions be made to Eastminster Presbyterian Church, Friends of Scouting or Stone Mountain Co-op.

Linda, Morrison - Phrases have not yet been coined to properly express the sadness I feel for you both. Please know that any support you require is here and available from your extended family at Roma. David played such an integral part in your success here and we will all miss him.

I am deeply saddened by David's passing. He will be sorely missed by many, especially Trickum Middle School. My association with him over the past few years has shown me that there are dedicated men out there who give their all in an attempt to improve the lives of others. David was often in the shadows, completing those tasks that form the foundation for community support. He was our rock. We will all miss him.

Linda, Morrison (and Tanner): You have been and still are in our thoughts
and prayers. What a beautiful person David was; I still remember how we
did the Halloween parties at your house. He was always so young at heart
and exubriant - just like you and Morrison. Please accept our sincere condolences and love in your time of loss. Lola and Paul Bess
