David was a proud lifetime resident of Martinsburg, graduating from Martinsburg High School in 1983.

David then began a career in the bread business eventually becoming an owner/operator for Flowers Baking.

David’s enthusiasm for life extended beyond his career into his personal life. One of his proudest accomplishments was being a part of the 1983 WV High School Baseball State Championship team, the first time in Martinsburg High School history.

Among his other passions was Little League Baseball. David volunteered as a coach for many years alongside his brother. He dedicated a large portion of his free time to giving back to the Berkeley County community. As an athlete, David loved sports. He was an enthusiastic fan of the Martinsburg Bulldogs, New York Yankees, WVU Mountaineers and his personal Fantasy teams. He was an avid bowler, softball player and golfer. After David retired in 2021 he enjoyed spending as much time as possible on the greens with his friends.

David was a husband, father, pap, brother, uncle, friend and coach to many.

David will be remembered for his unfailing kindness, generosity to his family, friends and community.
