David, who was the youngest of five children, grew up on his family’s farm in Kingston, GA, and spent most of his adult life farming and working with his dad, Bill, and his brother Seab. Like many farmers, David possessed the skills to fix almost anything from washing machines to a Mercedes. He loved cars, especially Corvettes, and loved working on all types of cars. He had a mischievous streak and loved playing pranks on his family and friends, especially at Halloween. As a child her loved Christmas and never outgrew his love of the season. Purchasing Christmas gifts for his family and friends was something he loved most.

Unfortunately diabetes ruled most of David’s life, 49 of his 60 years, with all the complications many who have the disease suffer. David spent the last four years of his life in Rome at Winthrop Health and Rehabilitation. The family wishes to thank the staff of Winthrop for their exceptional care of David.
