David Brinson Obituary
David Brinson, age 73 of Hillsboro, passed away unexpectedly Saturday morning, July 5, 2025, at his home.
He was born on April 23, 1952, in Owensville, the son of the late Henry Wallace and Bertha (Glover) Brinson.
David retired from the Ford Motor Company after a long career, then thoroughly enjoyed driving for FRS in Highland County, where he helped many people and made many more friends.
He was an outdoorsman at heart, where he enjoyed hunting and fishing. He also spent several years truck-pulling and loved playing cards.
He was a loving and devoted husband, father and grandfather, and treasured every minute he could spend with his family.
He is survived by his beloved wife of nearly 55 years, Debra (Akins) Brinson, whom he married on Oct. 24, 1970, in Newtonsville. He is also survived by two daughters, Rachael Brath and Christa (Jeff) Siegel, both of Hillsboro; four grandchildren, Brandon Lanpheare, Alex Wilson, Caity Wilson, and Trent (Dylan Campbell) Brath; nine siblings, Clemond (Ida) Brinson, Michael (Judy) Brinson, Russell Brinson, Bernice (Ernie) Haggard, Denny Brinson, Ronnie (Brenda) Brinson, Bruce (Jenny) Brinson, Johnny (Sissy) Brinson and Debbie (Chris) Gibson; life-long friends and close family members Gary (Lorie) Walters and Gary (Lori) Layne; as well as numerous nieces and nephews.
In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by a sister and brother-in-law, Rosetta and James Masters.
A celebration of David's life will be held at a later date at the convenience of the family. The Turner & Son Funeral Home and Crematory in Hillsboro is serving the family.
