Obituary of David Arthur Higbee
David Arthur Higbee, a beloved husband, father, grandfather, and brother, passed away peacefully on April 4, 2024, at the age of 82. He was born on April 6, 1941, in Oklahoma, the first child of Dorothy Evelyn Rollins and Arthur Hill Higbee.
Growing up in Norman, Oklahoma, he enjoyed serving as the drum major in his high school band. He pursued higher education at the University of Oklahoma, where he earned a degree in Design, laying the foundation for a successful career. He moved to Dallas to begin his career with a design company.
On September 25, 1982, David married Evelyn (Evie) Marrow. Shortly after he started his own business in Fort Worth which thrived for many years. Outside of work, David's passion for golf brought him joy and relaxation, while his faith found expression through his membership at St. Stephen's Presbyterian Church.
David loved to travel and had the opportunity to visit many countries. He also had a keen appreciation for music and the arts.
David is survived by his wife Evie, his daughter Cie Gee and her husband Ronnie of San Antonio, his grandchildren Noah (21) and Sam (16), and his brothers, Jim Higbee of Fort Worth and Phillip Higbee of Benbrook.
Service: 2:00 p.m. Friday, April 26th, at the columbarium of St. Stephen's Presbyterian Church 2700 McPherson Ave, Fort Worth, TX 76109. Family and friends are welcome.

To my amazing Uncle,

I will forever cherish our time together and you will always be with me. Your teachings and influence have molded me into the person I am today. Always looking for the beauty in design, continuing to be mindful to not over correct my downswing at the tee box and to focus on the details that make life beautiful.

Love always,

Spencer, Leanora, Ella and William Marrow

Was fortunate to meet David about 1990. We both had a passion for old clubs. We traded clubs for years and he was an amazing golf club repairman, specializing in Ping putters. In all the years we communicated, there was never once we ever had a problem or issue. David was a kind, honest straight shooter and a pleasure to talk and visit. Higbee family, feel blessed you had such a wonderful man in your life for so many years. I only have fond memories of David...R.I.P

I´ve known David for over 40 years - first as my employer and then as my treasured friend. He was the husband of my best friend of 50 years and he was one of the kindest people I´ve ever known. To say he will be missed is not enough - the world is a lesser place without David in it. Love you Evie - and love to the rest of the family.
