David attended Floyd County High School. He worked for Moog
in Blacksburg for 43 years until his retirement in 2021. He was a wonderful and
faithful husband, daddy, and papa, always putting their needs above his own. He
was an avid hunter and enjoyed shooting sporting clays. No matter the weather,
he would spend time walking and praying in the mornings on their property. David
was always willing to lend a helping hand and was a patient teacher of life
skills and anything having to do with sportsmanship. He would spend his
vacation time taking his family to church camps multiple times a year. He
faithfully attended Haven of Rest Bible Church in Galax.

like to extend a special thank you to Jeanne Thompson "nanny" for her special
care during his illness and Darlene Rice "head nurse" for all of her support
and care.
