He worked for a hospital and attended Marshall University following his time overseas. After serving in the military, David started working with Medline as a sales representative where he later retired after 40 years. Most of all, David was a lover of the Lord and of his large family.

He was a sport enthusiast who enjoyed spending time at his kids’ and grandkids’ ballgames. He was also die-hard Auburn fan, who shouted “War Eagle!” any chance he could get.
