David was an avid hunter, fisherman, and outdoors sportsman. He worked hard, played hard, and was always happiest in pursuit of his passions for the outdoors. He will be sorely missed by his wife, family and friends.

Prior to his passing, David expressed his wishes to his sons to have his ashes scattered over Pickles Reef in the Florida Keys. His sons will be honoring his wishes at a private family function June 03, 2023. After 69 years of vibrant life, David’s light will return to the arms of the Lord through the warm embrace of the sea.
