Mr. David Dewayne Tuggle, age 64, of Winnfield, Louisiana, passed away on Tuesday, January 6, 2026, in Winnfield, Louisiana.

David was born on Thursday, February 2, 1961, in Dallas, Texas. He made his home in Winnfield, where he was well known and deeply loved by his family and friends.

An avid outdoorsman, David had a lifelong passion for hunting and fishing and took great pride and joy in running his fox hounds and watching his daughter and grand-daughter ride horses. While he enjoyed the outdoors, his greatest devotion was always to his family. Above all else, David was a loving and devoted father and grandfather, whose presence and guidance will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

David was preceded in death by loved ones whom he now joins in eternal rest.

Those left to cherish his memory include his wife of 37 years, Donna Varnell Tuggle of Winnfield, Louisiana; his children, Hunter Seiley (Evan), Fisher Tuggle, Josh Hattaway (Harley), and Sumer Hattaway; nine grandchildren; and one great-grandchild. He is also survived by his siblings, Debbie Sweat (Michael) and Greg Johnson (Rhonda), along with numerous extended family members and friends.
