Our family lost a cherished brother and uncle on June 10th when he went home to his Lord and Savior. David was a loving husband for over fifty years to his wife Sharon until her death in 2018. Not a day of the past six years has passed that he didn’t miss her or take the opportunity to share her memory with others. Knowing that they are together again has provided peace and comfort to those who miss them both.

David was a family man who loved doting on and spending time with his many nieces and nephews. Some of their fondest memories while growing up are the times they spent with David and Sharon on weekend visits and trips.

After retiring from Tamko David spent many years doing woodwork with his brother Ed. David enjoyed refinishing and conditioning old furniture and socializing with friends in the wood shop. David was a very proud Army Veteran that served our country for four years and enjoyed sharing his many memories of his time in Germany.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to your favorite charity.
