David Brown Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
David was an outgoing and adventurous person with an engaging sense of humor. During his teen years he became an accomplished golfer and discovered a lifetime fondness of walking in the woods, fishing and hunting.
In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his caring grandparents, cherished parental figures Bobby and Doris McElrath, and numerous aunts and uncles.
He is survived by his aunts Joy Manning Parrish (Greg) and Jennifer Manning Franklin (Hugh), several cousins, special companion Dana Nicole Mull, as well as a host of loving relatives and friends.
A private service to honor his life will be held at a later date.
Memorial donations may be made to Renewed Hope in Murphy, NC or the charitable organization of your choice.
Smoky Mountain Cremations and Funeral Service of Maggie Valley is caring for the family and the online register is available at www.smokymountaincremations.com.
