David Cameron Hanaway passed away peacefully at home on April 5, 2025. He was born on February 19, 1940 in Birmingham, Alabama.

Dave served for 21 years in the United States Air Force. He began his military career at Dyess Air Force Base in Abilene, Texas, serving on an underground Atlas 2 missile launch crew.

Dave and Elsie had three children, Dawn, Sherri, and their late son, David.

Dave had a zest for life, and was a man of strong faith. He was a loving husband and father, a loyal companion, and a reliable friend. His everyday life was one of integrity and wisdom.

His comforting and cheerful presence will be missed, but we rejoice knowing that when he left this earth, he entered his eternal home in heaven with God.
