In 1968 faith and serendipity had brought Mary True and David together. David and Mary True dated for two years and were married on December 8, 1973. Mary was the love of his life and meant the world to him.

In 1978 they welcomed their middle child Christopher D. Neumann into the world and in 1979 they welcomed their youngest and final child Paul H. Neumann into the world. From 1977 to 1998 David would practice medicine at the Oklahoma City Clinic and would work tirelessly to balance his life as a loving father, a wonderful husband and fabulous physician. In 1998 David Neumann took steps to further his professional practice by going out on his own for the next 17 years. Throughout David Neumann's career he served with gratitude, humility, integrity and a strong moral compass. He saw the best days of medicine. "The days that Physicians were not answering to the bean counters and ruining physicians' ability to truly Practice medicine."
Dr. David Neumann was a loving and faithful servant of Christ. He devoted his life to Christ, his family and friends. He served with a servants heart and a warrior's spirit. He listened, loved and laughed often. He will be missed by all. May his body find peace here in this life and may his soul scream out from the mountaintops and rejoice in celebration with the angels with a lot more love and laughter in heaven with the eternal father.

Some of you have known him through his profession, some have known him through as friendships and some of you as family. Those that were blessed to call him a friend knew he treated you like family. He had an incredible wit about him and was one of the best at his profession. He loved life, he lived life and we know that he would ask that each of you continue to pray for his soul and those that are sick the rest of your days.
