Dave was born on February 16, 1944, in Chestertown, MD where he grew up and went to Chestertown High School. Son of the late Vernon Bland and Emily Redding Bland Green. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his son David, Jr. and brother Eddie.

He had lots of hobbies too many to name them all but his favorites were golf, fishing and in his early years building and flying model planes.
David is survived by his children, Billy and his wife Terry, Aaron (Catherine) and Colin; grandchildren, Chelsa (Matt), Ben (Matty), David and Sarah; great-grandchild Fox; sister Martha Bland Stubbs and many nephews.
