David B. Franklin

My dad was a good hearted man who suffered from a mental Illness schizophrenia over the majority of his adult life as a child I watched my father struggle with his battle as I was growing up my father was a strong man who loved everyone he loved being around his family more then anything and as my cousin Brandon said Dad loved his martial arts I can remember his going in the back yard and pratis his numb-chucks like he was chuck Norris . My father loved to spend time with his brothers Darrell and Kenny . My father was a firm Christian believer in our heavenly father and read the Bible and helped financially with the children at Riley's hospital and children in Africa , he enjoyed the company and companionship of his gf Rhonda Davis I watched my fathers best days of all my life with Rhonda . We all will love and miss you father We know your better where you are and we will see you when it's our day .

I have many memories of my uncle David. As often as I stayed with Meme and Papaw, David was always there too, and so here are some of them......in his early years he would practice martial arts (sometimes wearing red long Johns), and he loved driving his old black Chevy Nova....I swear he would make up excuses to go burn rubber to Spauldings grocery store. He loved music and sitting at the kitchen table drinking beer in the early years and then tea later. He was always joking around with Darrell as well as Meme and Papaw and probably drove them all half crazy, but the man had a huge heart and a huge smile and huge laugh to go along with it. I love you David and I´m going to miss you.
