Son of the late Hugh Oliver Stokes and Carrie Thelma Wiggins, David was born in Wilmington, DE on April 22, 1945. Surrounded by his family, he peacefully left this life to be with the Lord on July 22, 2009.

David received his early education in the schools of Wilmington, DE. He was a graduate of Howard High School.

He was a proud veteran of the United States Navy seeing active duty as a serviceman from August 31, 1964 until August 30, 1970. David was employed as an auto worker with General Motors Corporation retiring in 2001 after 31 years of service.
