David lived a full and fruitful life.

David also had a wide range of interests including scuba diving, skiing with the Daytona Beach Ski club, piloting small aircraft, playing golf, mountain biking, cycling in Daytona Beach, and power boating with his father, David Jr. When traveling, David found joy in taking photos and collecting local treasures to share his experiences with family. In his free time, he also loved to read mystery novels, attend movies, spend time at Universal Studios, and visit museums. David was an avid sports fan for the University of Florida, University of Central Florida football, and Washington Commanders.
After the passing of his parents, David took the role of being the oldest sibling to heart. David always showed sincere interest in the personal lives, milestones, careers and scholastic endeavors of his siblings, nieces and nephews. He will be missed by family and friends; remembered for his quirky Christmas presents, birthday cards with news of the family, and generous gifts.
