David F. Sheffield born November 4, 1933 passed away November 22, 2022 after a brief battle with Cancer. David graduated from Gainesville High School in 1951 then joined the Air Force until 1955. Along with several educational courses and training his career work was in electrical and plumbing businesses in south Florida. Eventually he settled in Archer, Florida. Affectionately known as Uncle Dave by family and friends, he was always charitable and willing to help people in need. Uncle Dave was the last child of six children by George and Marie Sheffield of Gainesville, Florida. He is survived by 11 nieces and nephews that will miss him greatly.

The family would like to express our greatest appreciation for the Staff and Volunteers at Haven Hospice in Gainesville, Florida for the kindness and caring time they spent with Uncle Dave during his remaining time. In lieu of flowers you may donate to Hospice or the charity of your choice.
