David was born on October 16, 1956 in Cartersville, GA, son of Howard Lee Stephens and the late Myrtle Jean Stephens.
David was a true and faithful servant of the Lord and was a proud member of Clear Creek Baptist Church, where he served as a Assistant Sunday School Superintendent for his first few years of membership.

He was a dedicated friend to everyone he knew and was always there to lend a helping hand.
