In addition to his parents, David was preceded in death by his loving wife, Sandra Maria (Vance) Midkiff; his daughter, Rose Ann Midkiff; his granddaughter, Angel Dawn Midkiff; and eight siblings: Charles Edward Midkiff, Belle (Bone-Coy) Midkiff, John Paul Midkiff, Ronald Lee Midkiff, James Arthur Leo Castlie, Ruth Naomi (Midkiff) Gollaher, Harry Inman Midkiff, Jr. and Beverly Ann (Funk-Vance) Midkiff.

David loved nothing more than spending time with his family, especially his grandchildren. He enjoyed the outdoors, where he could often be found fishing, riding horses, or tending to his garden—always making sure the rows were perfectly straight. David was also a proud member of the Steelworkers Union Local 7033.
