David was born Sept. 23rd, 1962 to Samuel Edward McTyre and Kimble Jeanette McTyre (née Watkins) in Memphis, TN. He graduated in 1980 from Central High School in Memphis and attended Memphis State University and Boston Architectural Center. He displayed a talent and passion for architecture at an early age (running away to Coral Gables and getting a job as a draftsman until it was discovered he was a minor and sent home) and went on to a career in Memphis, Chicago, Indianapolis, & Boston. David was an incredibly talented architect, draftsman, and artist. Well respected by his peers and clients, David produced a body of work over the course of his life that was nothing short of brilliant. He was passionate about literature, the arts, and politics and loved to debate with anyone that didn't see the world the way he did. Smart, sardonic, witty, opinionated, and caring, he lived life and pursued his art on his terms. He will be missed.
