David worked as a mechanic for over 40 years at Model Motors/Brenner Nissan. His passion was racing and he was well known as “Snoopy.” When he wasn’t racing, he enjoyed bowling, golfing, camping, and watching NASCAR, but most of all, he loved spending time with his family and friends.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by 7 brothers; and 3 sisters.

A Private Memorial Service will be held Sunday, August 2, 2020, for the family only due to CDC COVID guidelines. A gathering for family and friends will be scheduled at a later date and time.

“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race. I have taken the checkered flag.”

The family would like to thank Dr. Roy Williams and his staff for all their loving care and Hospice for all seasons.
