David was born on February 3, 1999, in Cabarrus County. He was a beloved son of Paul Anthony Ewing and Jody Lynn Troutman Stirewalt. He found peace and happiness in the outdoors, especially while fishing at High Rock Lake and at quiet ponds where he enjoyed casting for carp. David had a deep appreciation for nature and felt most at home beneath open skies and among the beauty of the natural world. Creative at heart, he also loved writing and singing music, expressing himself in ways that touched those around him.
