David Palmer Obituary
David proudly served his country in both the United States Marines and the Army National Guard, completing a combined 27 years of dedicated military service.

He was also active in veterans' organizations, serving as a former District Commander of the VFW. He was a member of the VFW, AMVETS, and First Baptist Church in Tremont.
Beyond his service, David loved spending time with his family and friends. He enjoyed watching movies and basketball, camping, and cheering passionately for Auburn football. His presence brought joy, laughter, and unwavering support to those around him.

He also leaves behind 12 beloved grandchildren, with one more expected soon.
He was preceded in death by his father, Robert Palmer; his grandparents, Cliff and Ruth DeVaughn and Will and Vera Palmer; his father-in-law, Richard Frederick, Sr.; and his niece, Ashley Palmer.
