David served in the Army/National Guard from 1959 to 1967. He was a devoted husband and a loving father. He married Nell McMillin on August 2, 1974. He worked and owned his own business as a Master Electrician and an Electrical Contractor. He was in the business for over 40 years before fully retiring at the age of 72.
He was a social, active man who was very involved in The American Legion and the Mahomet Cemetery Association for the majority of his life. He was an avid bowler and he enjoyed barbeque cook-offs and watching his favorite teams the Houston Texans and the Dallas Mavericks.
He is predeceased by his father, Wade McMillin, mother, Rose McMillin and his sister, Vicki Anderson.

His wife Nell wants to give a special thanks to Steve and Tammy Muñoz for their love, support, and friendship for over 20 years. I don’t know what I would do without the both of you.
