David's family returned to Washington, Missouri when he was about one years old. He grew up in Washington and graduated from Washington High School. He then went on to work in assembly for Chrysler until he retired. He married Karen Eileen Miller (nee' Lacy). They lived in Washington for many years before relocating to Rosebud more recently.
In his spare time, David was a member of the Union Saddle Club. When he wasn't participating there, he could be found watching any number of sports games.
