David was best known for his kindness. He was a good man who loved his family more than life itself.

David proudly served in the US Army.

David is survived by his wife, Kay, of Gilmer; his son, David, and wife, Mandy; granddaughter, Jennifer Farmer and fiance, Bruce; and great-granddaughter, Jacie Ann Farmer; and step-children, Scott Arrington and wife, Terry, and Pam Atkinson, who was also a beloved caretaker and friend.
David is preceded in death by his parents, and siblings, Lynn, Dionne, and "Clutch".
