David Vincent "June June; June; Hadaway" Hadaway

David Vincent Hadaway, affectionately known to many as "June June," "June," or simply "Hadaway," was born on May 28, 1969, in Manhattan, New York. From an early age, David displayed kindness, love, and compassion for his family, friends, and everyone he encountered. To know him was to love him-he never met a stranger, and his presence left a lasting impression on all who crossed his path.

David was educated in the Chesapeake Public School System and graduated from Deep Creek High School, Class of 1988. During his time there, he served proudly as Senior Class President, was voted "Best Dressed," and was an active participant in Air Force ROTC, earning multiple awards and certificates for his achievements and leadership.

Following graduation, David answered the call to serve his country by enlisting in the United States Air Force, where he was stationed in Hawaii. After completing his service, he made Hawaii his home for 13 years, building lifelong friendships and experiences that he cherished deeply.

Upon returning home, David pursued his passion for leadership and entrepreneurship. He worked diligently in several managerial roles and was admired for his commitment and drive. As Regional Manager for Planet Fitness, David mentored and inspired his team with his infectious energy and dedication. Later, his role as Manager of Green Clean allowed him to connect with people from all walks of life-something he enjoyed immensely.

David had a zest for life that was truly unmatched. He loved to dress with style and distinction, travel, and explore different cuisines. He embraced new experiences and approached life with confidence, humor, and an open heart. Above all, David's love for his family and friends was immeasurable and unwavering.

He was preceded in death by his beloved uncles, David L. Linyear, Kenneth W. Linyear, George Harvey, Willie Rascoe, Clinton Smith, Vincent Hadaway, Cyril Price; his aunt, Barbara Woodson; cousin, Erica Bynum; his maternal grandparents, Samuel Linyear, Katie Linyear; his paternal grandfather, Bertram Hadaway; his grandmother, Annie Pearl Styron; his sister, Maria T. Batten; and a host of great aunts and uncles.

Batten (Anna); his daughter, Mekia Hadaway; two grandchildren, Maliyah and Zaire; maternal grandmother, Lucille Faulks; four sisters, Tanyanika Styron, Danyelle Hadaway, Shegal Myles, and Ladonna Burden; two brothers, Brian Hadaway and Dennis A.
