Mr. David Lamar Almand

Educated at Walker High School and The Georgia Institute of Technology he earned a degree in Industrial Engineering.

David learned to fly as a young man and although he worked as an engineer in Los Angeles, Ca, he flew private planes and instructed. In 1987 his passion became reality as he joined the ranks of professional aviators at American Airlines DFW.

David's love of learning continued and he earned an MBA from The University of Texas Arlington and a law degree from Texas Wesleyan University School of Law.

In 2017, he retired from a distinguished 30 year career having flown many planes domestic, internationally and as a check airman. At the time of his passing he was working part-time at Flight Safety DFW and also practicing law.

Two years ago he became a grandfather known as "Pop" to a little boy he affectionately nicknamed TL.

David leaves a legacy of faith, family and professionalism. He was a private man and downplayed his accomplishments. His greatest joy was spending time with Audney, Dwight and TL.

He was preceded in death by his parents.

He is survived by his daughter Audney (Dwight) Korenek, Kingwood, Texas, Two sisters, Carol (Dr. Lane) Stephenson, Gainesville, GA, Janet (George, Sr) Tucker, Braselton, GA, Grandson Tilden Lee Korenek, Kingwood, Tx, and other loving family and friends.
