David Altamont Moxley

My dearest brother, David, died Thursday, Jan. 3, 2019, in Salisbury, after a brief illness. The son of Elmer A. Moxley and Mildred W. Moxley, David was born on Aug. 26, 1957, in Chattanooga, Tenn. David graduated from Reynolds High School in Asheville, in 1977. He was employed at Rowan Vocational Opportunities in Salisbury for many years. He is survived by Melody Moxley (sister) of Salisbury as well as Donald E. Womack (uncle), Joyce K. Womack (aunt) and Martha W. Neff (aunt), all of Chattanooga, Tenn., as well as several cousins. David was a loving brother, a steadfast friend, and a caring person. Despite the many challenges he faced, he lived valiantly and boldly. David had a sly smile and an interest in many things, especially reading, travel, NASCAR, wildlife of all varieties, movies, and television. He was an authority on anything Star Trek and an eminent collector of Mr. Spock memorabilia. David had a very special friend in Toby, a happy little beagle who was a beloved part of David's life for 10 years, and before Toby there were several other loyal and special friends of the four-legged variety. I am honored and blessed to have had David as my brother and will miss him terribly but also know that David was cared for by a loving God and is now asleep in Jesus.
