David Branum Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers from Jul. 31 to Aug. 1, 2023.
With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of David Wayne Branum, aged 62, who departed from this world on July 29th, 2023. David was born on May 8th, 1961, in Soddy-Daisy, TN, and his absence leaves an irreplaceable void in the lives of those who knew and loved him.

David was a man of many facets, and his generous spirit and infectious smile will be remembered by all who had the privilege of crossing paths with him.

He was preceded in death by his beloved parents, Charlotte and Nolan Branum Sr., and his sister, Debbie Rollins.

Though David's physical presence is no longer with us, his memory continues through the lives he touched. He will forever be cherished by his surviving loved ones, including his sons, John Branum and Aaron Branum. David is also survived by his brother, Nolan Branum Jr., and his sisters, Evelyn Johnston and Tonya Stephens. Their bond was a testament to the strength of family ties, and they provided each other with comfort, support, and love throughout their shared journey.

In keeping with David's wishes, no formal funeral or memorial service will be held. Instead, we honor his memory by remembering the laughter he brought and the love he shared.

Rest in peace, dear David, knowing that your memory will forever be etched in the hearts of those who were blessed to know you.
