David Compton

So saddened to hear of David´s passing.
My deepest sympathies to Kendra & Mary Ann & family.
From play school to high school , we grew up competing and playing with and against each other. Baseball , basketball football , golf. You name it we played it.
David was a great baseball pitcher, mean curveball. In fact I can only remember being hit by a pitch by one pitcher: David. ...and that was in practice when we played for the little league Pet Milk Red Sox. Fierce competitor? Of course. Great control . Absolutely! He knew where that ball was going. I was crowding the plate

Great athlete yes, but an even greater person. So smart, with a keen sense of humor. But what always stood out was his kindness.and his Caring.
When I heard he became a Hall of Fame tennis coach,, I wasn´t surprised at all. Just proud. It made perfect sense.

Job well done, David. Life well-lived. Gone too soon.
Rest in peace dear friend.

Tough week for tennis legends in Kentucky. This one hit hard!

Great competitor
Great coach
Great ambassador for the sport
Great player
Great teammate
Great friend

Dave you will be missed!

Coach Compton, you will be missed by many. Your impact and influence will continue for many years to come. You have made our tennis community better and we will always appreciate your contribution. You are a good man, Dave. You always wanted to help others especially through your coaching.
Sincerely, Coach Rex Ecarma
