David Horton

With heavy hearts but joyful memories, we announce the passing of David Horton on January 2, 2026. Born in Plainview, Texas, David was a beloved husband, father, brother, and "Pa Pa." He leaves behind his devoted wife, Melody Horton, who was not just his partner in life but also his greatest supporter and friend.

David's journey started at LD Bell High School, and he later pursued his passion for technology at DeVry University. For over 30 years, he poured his heart and soul into his business, Pro Star Productions, where he created countless memories and touched many lives.

A true lover of life, David's passions were as varied as his interests! He adored his Great Pyrenees dogs, Harley, Max, and Cosmo, who were always by his side. As a licensed pilot, David had a knack for adventure, whether soaring through the skies or flying his cherished remote-controlled airplanes. He also enjoyed connecting with others through his love of ham radio, where he formed friendships that spanned the globe.

David's spirit was infectious, and his laughter lit up every room. He will be remembered for his generosity, his adventurous heart, and his unwavering love for his family and friends.

In addition to his wife of forty-two years, Melody Ann Pryor Horton, he is survived by a son, David Horton Jr and fiancée Lisa; grandchildren, Chaney and Kylie; great-grandson, Carter and a brother, Daniel Horton and spouse Beth. Also by many nieces and nephews including McKenzie who would accompany him to movies.

In honor of David's vibrant life, a celebratory gathering will be held to share stories, laughs, and fond memories. A Celebration of his life will occur at 1:30 pm on Saturday, January 10, 2026 at Indian Hills Baptist Church in Grand Prairie, Rev. Mike Horton officiating.

Though David has taken his final flight, his legacy will continue to soar in our hearts. Let's celebrate the incredible man who enriched our lives in ways too many to count!
