David Sharp Obituary
David will be remembered for endlessly searching for his keys and wallet with Big Gulp in hand, his love for his family - especially his adored mother, his overly generous nature, his devotion to his Seahawks, and the pairing of his enormous appetite with a magical metabolism.
David leaves behind his loving parents, Robert and Esther Sharp; his brother Dan (Betsy) Sharp; sister Sarah (John) Hayes; nephew Austin (Michelle) Sharp; three nieces, Savannah (Kevin) Deming, Julia Hayes and Hannah Hayes; as well as two great-nephews, Adrian and Felix Sharp; and two great-nieces, Vivian and Lydia Sharp.
Rest in peace David. You will be so very greatly missed.

David Sharp was such a cool person. Kind, funny, caring and patient. He had unique perspective on almost every topic. Dave, you will be missed!

David was such a kind and loving soul. Most of my memories of cousin Dave revolve around our family reunions in Barboursville, West Virginia. I can still see Dave swinging in the old porch swings of Papa & Mamaw Sharps home. We were all laughing hysterically as Dave & Mark would entertain us with their theatrical ensemble of "Little Willey-Willey won't go home"... Dave playing the part of Willey's mother dragging Mark's ars across the front porch...
Dave's gentle-angelic demeanor most likely felt at home in the heavenly realms.
My heart aches to think he has left us for a while, but I will be forever grateful that Dave's orbit in life crossed mine & I am blessed to have him as my kin.
All the best to Uncle Bob, Aunt Esther, Dan & Sarah... We love y'all

Dave has been a life long friend. I can honestly say that he is the nicest guy I've ever met and I feel so blessed to have had him as a friend for all of those years.

Hi family. We just read a note from Sarah. Needless to say we are very sad at this news about cousin David.
Christine and I just had a wonderful visit 2 weeks ago with Uncle Bob & Aunt Ester at their home in Camas. Sarah happened to be there too. We´re grieving for all of them. Praying for them all. ~Dave R
