David was a 1970 graduate of Wilson Memorial High School.  He retired from DuPont/Invista in September 2015, with 37 years of service.  He was a member of ClearView Church, Waynesboro.

David was a great man of faith that enjoyed reading the Bible and spending time with the Lord each day.  He loved every opportunity to be with family and was always willing to help whenever needed.  He was always passionate about anything sports related and he was an avid collector of sports cards and other collectibles.  He enjoyed movies and going on vacation to many different places, but considered Myrtle Beach to be his favorite. He loved all of his cats, but especially Lexi and his pug, Obi.  Over the years, he supported many worthy charities.

The family would like to express their sincere appreciation to the Doctors and Nurses at Augusta Health and special thanks to the Augusta Health – Hospice of the Shenandoah Staff, especially, Meagan, Carol and Carolyn.
