David was beloved to his friends and family. Spending time with the ones he loved was what he enjoyed the most. As a young man, David was an extraordinary athlete, and his love for sports was passed down through all the generations that followed him.

A carpenter by trade, he was incredibly talented and could build anything and make it beautiful. He was a true cowboy, one of his favorite things as a young man was the rodeo and he had an undeniable gift in team roping. Everyone who met David, loved him. He was a good man, husband, father and brother. We will cherish our memories with David, and he will forever be in our hearts.
