David married Rhoda May Johnson on Friday, April 28, 1961 in West Palm Beach, Florida; and together they were parents to two daughters. David was a dedicated farmer who raised poultry for George's Inc. on his breeder hen farm for many years. He had a gift for storytelling and being a prankster, often bringing joy to those around him with his jovial nature and playful sense of humor. David was a devoted family man with a thoughtful vision for the future. He was a deeply loving father and a cherished granddad, always engaging wholeheartedly with his grandchildren during their visits. He found joy in riding motorcycles, traveling to the West Coast, and spending time watching his favorite television shows. David also took great pride in maintaining his farm, caring for his equipment with meticulous attention.
