David T. Worthman

David Theodore Worthman, 81, left this world peacefully on Aug. 21, 2025 at his home in The Villages, Florida.

David Worthman was born Oct. 6, 1943 in Goshen. The son of Theodore and Harriet (Miller) Worthman, he grew up in Millersburg, where he developed a strong work ethic and a deep love for God.

David served in the Vietnam War and was awarded the Bronze Star, Air Medal, Army Commendation Medal, Vietnam Service Medal and four combat ribbons with two clusters. His time in service shaped his entire life and deepened his understanding of sacrifice and unity, as well as his strong faith that he carried with him his entire life.

David worked as an engineer and eventually started his own engineering consulting business. He had a commercial pilot license and loved flying business people around the country. He had also completed an associate degree in Bible education and had serious thoughts about becoming a minister. He enjoyed golfing and was very proud to get two hole in ones.

He is survived by his spouse of 33 years, LuAnn Flowers; and his four children, Angela (Joseph) Bernabe, Joshua (Amanda) Worthman, Christopher Felke and fiance Tracy, Michele (Lance) Nelson; grandchildren Isaac, Leah, Chas, Macie, Isabelle, Tristan, and Emma; sister Carol (Kevin) McMurray; numerous nieces and nephews.

Preceding him in death were his parents and a sister, Susan.

David was a quiet, yet thoughtful and kind man. He enjoyed spending time with his family and friends, walking each day for impromptu visits with neighbors, playing golf, and was always excited to have the next and newest technology gadget rivaling most teenagers of today.

A Celebration of Life for David T. Worthman will be from 3-5 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 28 at his home in The Villages, Florida. Memorials may be made to Gary Sinise Foundation.

Baldwin Brothers Funeral Home and Cremation Society, The Villages, Florida, handled arrangements.
