David grew up in Channelview, Texas, where he met his forever love Cammy. They became high school sweethearts and were married on July 14, 1979. David was an avid athlete in High School, lettering in baseball and football, but baseball was his true passion. David was a Little League coach and was able touch the lives of so many children along the way.  He was also a deacon at Memorial Baptist Church in Channelview.  He loved to travel and his work took him all over the world. David devoted his life to his family. His grandchildren loved their grandpa and he enjoyed spending time doing whatever they loved. From the time they were born they were inseparable. To his children, Jonathan and Christin, he was the best dad and friend, teaching them so many life lessons along the way.

David was a Coke, M&M, and NASCAR fanatic. He always had a supply of candy stashed away somewhere in the house. He surely owned stock in peanut butter M&M’s and his grandkids knew where to find them. He enjoyed going to the races and even got to live out his dream by driving a retired NASCAR at the Texas Motor Speedway. Recently, he had visited the World of Coca Cola Museum in Atlanta and enjoyed every minute of it.
