David V. Mizell

1955 - 2022

David V. Mizell was born December 31, 1955, in Bogalusa, Louisiana and passed away July 1, 2022. He was a proud lifelong resident of Folsom, Louisiana. David was the beloved husband of Mary Brandt Mizell for over forty years. They had three wonderful children, Paige, Meg and Tank (Abrianna), who were his greatest blessing and joy, until Tank gave him the one thing he had been asking for - grandchildren. Eva and Mila were the apple of his eye and adored their 'Big Poppy' as much as he adored them. His greatest pleasures and memories these past few years have been spoiling his girls and showing them off to everyone. David was the youngest son of the late Elzy 'Doc' and Louise Manton Mizell. David was preceded in death by his brothers, Buster and Fred Mizell. He is also survived by his brother, Clarence Mizell. David was a lifelong nurseryman who took great joy in helping beautify the world around him. He loved growing, watering and selling his plants. No matter where he was, he invited anyone who would listen to his nursery and his hometown of Folsom. Please join us in a celebration of David's life Saturday, July 9, 2022, at First Baptist Church of Folsom at 13320 Broadway Street, Folsom, LA 70437. Visitation 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., service to start at 1 p.m., followed by fellowship at the Family Life Center at the church. The family would like to thank Dr. Robert Brinkman for the amazing care, compassion and friendship he offered over the years. Also, to his fabulous home health nurse Lindsay Vidal who always made sure he was taken care of here at home. Finally, also to the Folsom Fire Department for their continued service and help whenever we needed it. David always said a man was rich as long as he had friends, and he was the richest man in the world because he never met a stranger. One of his greatest joys was watching his children grow up and play sports so in lieu of flowers the family would appreciate donations to Magnolia Park in Folsom in David's honor to help other children and parents experience the joy he had. Donations can be sent to 13296 Highway 40, Folsom, LA 70437. E.J. Fielding Funeral Home has been entrusted with the arrangements. Please sign the E.J.
