David Meredith, 72, entered into the presence of his Lord and Savior after a full and faithful life on Saturday, September 13, 2025.
Born with a love for music and a heart for God, David devoted much of his life to leading others in worship. With guitar in hand and a voice lifted in praise, he served as a worship leader for many years, pointing others toward Christ through his songs and his example. His faith was the foundation of his life, guiding his every step.
David shared forty-nine beautiful years of marriage with his beloved wife, Kathleen, who was his closest friend and steadfast partner. Their union was a testimony of enduring love, devotion, and faith in God. Together they raised a family rooted in love, laughter, and strong values; a legacy that will continue for generations.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Claudis and Zora Meredith; one brother, Paul Meredith; and one sister, Deborah Hanvy.
Those left to mourn his loss and cherish his memory include his loving wife of forty-nine years, Kathleen Meredith of Oberlin; one son, Joel Meredith (Jessica) of Ragley; one daughter, Lisan O'Banion (Steve) of Basile; five granddaughters, Villy, McKenna, Evie, Daisy, and Claire; and one grandson, Charlie.
A time of visitation will be held in the Chapel of Rush Funeral Home, Oberlin, on Wednesday, September 17, 2025, from 11:00 a.m. until time of service.
