David Talbert Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
He was preceded in death by his parents and brother James (Jet) Edward Talbert. He is survived by his beloved wife of 43 years Dixie (Haskins) Talbert; his daughter Danielle (Kevin) Suel; his son Drew (Kristen) Talbert; two grandchildren, Bryson and Norah; two sisters, Kathleen (David) Jennings, and Jeanine (Randy) Hendrix; one brother Mark Talbert; and many nieces and nephews.
David was a proud (SBC) pastor for 45 years throughout Arkansas (Chidester, Lawson, Crossett, Harrison, and Jacksonville). He retired in December 2024 from Bayou Meto Baptist after 17 years of service. He loved living life to the fullest. He enjoyed deer hunting, fishing, traveling to Maine, listening to oldies music, playing card and board games, working crossword puzzles, eating lobster and all things blueberry. But most of all he loved Jesus and his family!
He fought a long battle with kidney disease, all the while remaining faithful and full of hope. All who knew him throughout his illness, family, friends, church family and even his doctors and nurses who cared for him were always impressed by his upbeat attitude no matter how he felt. His testimony of strength, faith and hope will live on in all who knew him.
There will be a memorial service held on April 26th, 2025 at 2:00pm at Bayou Meto Baptist Church (26200 Highway 107, Jacksonville, AR), followed by a good ol' Southern Baptist fellowship.
In honor of David's love and passion for missions, where God's Word is shared around the globe, memorial gifts can be sent to Bayou Meto Baptist Church and will be distributed among the following; foreign missionaries: The Sager Family, The Thomas Family, and the Lottie Moon Mission Fund.
