April 28, 1990 and spent 34 wonderful years together. Together, they created a life full of love, joy, and family. Their bond was one of mutual respect and deep affection, serving as a foundation for the family they built. David was a proud and loving girl dad to his two daughters, Samantha and Shelby. He cherished his role as a father, always encouraging his daughters to pursue their dreams and embrace their faith. He was their rock, offering wisdom, love, unwavering support, and a dad joke wherever he could. His daughters were his pride and joy, and he delighted in watching them grow into strong, compassionate women who reflect the values he held dear. His greatest joy, however, came from his five grandchildren, who brought so much light into his life. Whether telling them stories, teaching them lessons, or simply being present for every milestone, David's love for his grandchildren was boundless. He was their constant source of warmth and encouragement. For over 19 years, David was a dedicated employee at Office Depot, where his work ethic and positive attitude made a lasting impression on his colleagues. Known for his integrity and willingness to help others, David was a cherished member of the team and developed lifelong friendships during his time there. David's faith in Christ was the foundation of his life. He was an active member of his church community, where he found great strength and purpose. His faith guided him through both the triumphs and challenges of life even to the very end. He was never shy about sharing the love of Christ with those around him.

David leaves behind his devoted wife, Natalie; his two loving daughters, Samantha and her husband Myles and Shelby and her husband Dusty; his five adored grandchildren Rhyder, Rayleigh, Eddie, Bexleigh, and Everett; his mother, Cathy Mattson, his siblings, Marty and wife Dana, Jan and husband Robert, Ruth, Karla, Sherrie, Mark and wife Christi, and Lester; along with numerous nieces and nephews, and countless friends and colleagues who will miss him deeply.
