David Paul Driggs

1955 - 2018

David Paul Driggs, 63, entered into eternal life Friday, July 13th, 2018 at his childhood home in Denison, surrounded by his beloved family.
Mr. Driggs was born March 9, 1955 in Denison, TX the son of Clyde and Clarice (Mitchell) Driggs. He attended Denison schools and served his country proudly in the United States Air Force. After serving in the military David found his calling as a successful entrepreneur. Over the years and throughout many states, he owned and operated Driggs Jewelry as well as a trucking company that he traveled the country with. It was during his time in the trucking industry that he became an instructor for many years at Grayson College for their truck driving program, however, his most successful venture was the Katmandu Campground in Sturgis, SD. David and his wife Kathy built Katmandu from the ground up, opening for its first Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in 2000. Katmandu Campground remained their labor of love for 15 years before their retirement to Concrete, WA.
David had many hobbies. He enjoyed fishing and watching Nascar, he loved traveling, he and Kathy traveled all over the United States in their RV and of course riding motorcycles. David was an avid collector, everything from rocks, a hobby he shared with his brother Robert, to finding hidden treasures on eBay. He had a great love for the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, meeting people from all over the world, always welcoming new friends and old alike, each year like a family reunion. But above all, David loved spending time with his family and his precious dog Penny.
David was such an amazing man with a huge heart and a contagious smile. He was all about family and wanting to protect everyone dear to him. His friendship was original and unconditional. No matter where his travels took him or where he lived, he represented everything you would expect from a good ole' Texas country boy. He has made an impact on so many people during his life and will always be with us in our memories and in spirit. Our lives and the world are a better place having known David Paul Driggs.
There are never enough words to express how much David will be missed, but he will never be forgotten. Time may pass and fade away, but memories of you will always stay. Deep in our heart a memory is kept of one we loved and shall never forget. God bless you and keep you in his care until we meet again.
David was a great husband, father, papa, son, brother, uncle and friend. In all his travels, and here at home, he had made many friends who will miss him greatly.
David leaves behind his beloved family, wife Kathy Driggs of Denison, TX. Daughter, Jaime Wolf and granddaughters Brooke and Alexis Wolf of Sturgis, SD. Son, Jason Tatum and children Elle and Evan Tatum of Plano, TX. Mother, Clarice Driggs of Denison, TX, niece Robbie Driggs of Denison, TX, niece Monica Stas, husband Ronal and their son Ian Stas of Pottsboro, TX. And many other extended family members. He was preceded in death by his father Clyde Victor Driggs, brother Robert Clyde Driggs and grandson Ethan Myles Tatum.
Those who knew David well, knew he never liked being the center of attention, and per his wishes, there will be no services. If you would like to honor David you can make a donation in his name to The Gateway Fund for Cancer Research through The Cancer Treatment Centers of America, or if you are a rider, take a ride in his honor, as that was always near and dear to his heart.
Now you walk so bravely, you feel the pain no more. Angels have come to guide you and bring you to Heavens door.
Arrangements are under the direction of Fisher Funeral Home in Denison.
