David lived a colorful and full life. After serving honorably in the United States Marine Corps, where he served in Okinawa and earned the distinction of expert marksman with the Lloyd Trophy Gold Medal. He carried with him the discipline, grit, and loyalty that defined his character.
He was an avid motorcycle rider (just ask the cops), hunter and fisherman and passed those skills-including his love for the outdoors-on to his children.
Following his discharge from the Marines, David moved from Cape Girardeau to Colorado Springs, Colorado, where he made his home. There, he founded the AAA Haulin Hawg company – A+ rated with the BBB for 35 years, dedicating his work to helping clean up and serve the city he grew to love.
Because of Jesus' sacrifice, David is now in the arms of his Savior, at peace in paradise. He recently confessed with his mouth that Jesus is Lord and was baptized at Roswell Community Church September 2024 with his granddaughter Adelaya and her friend Gabby Gaudioso.
He will be remembered for his strength, his stories, his devotion to family, his faith and love for Jesus Christ, and the lasting mark he left on those who knew him.
