You could always find him sitting on the back porch enjoying his favorite spot.

David loved his family more than anyone we know. He considered so many people “family” that we could never list them all. He was a man of his word that you could depend on under any circumstance. He could fix anything and was our own problem solver – “MacGuyver.” He will be missed by so many.
