MAYNARD, 66
WINTER HAVEN - David D. Maynard, 66, passed away Sunday, December 20, 2009 at his family home due to respiratory failure.
Mr. Maynard, the son of the late Haskell and Laura Maynard, was born January 2, 1943 in Williamson, WV. He moved to Winter Haven with his parents in 1955. He was a member of the Winter Haven High School graduating class of 1960.

We got to know David on visits to his neighbor to our Aunt Barb. On one occassion, he took our sons to the workshop for wooden puzzle making. Those puzzles kept them busy for the entire four hour drive home. Another time he rounded up a canoe and oars for the boys to go exploring on the lake. He was such a thoughtful person, generous with his time, and always wearing a smile. The boys are grown now, but they still speak of David with affection.
Our prayers go out to Ms. Norma and her family. May God Bless you.

Another soul has gone to be with the Lord. May the grace and the blesing be with you during this time of loss that God has promise to all who follow Him. David put my first radio in my company truck back in the 80's working with Fredrick's Electronics. He will be miss.
