David attended Trotwood Madison High School and earned an Associate Degree of Business Administration at Sinclair Community College and a B.S. in Accounting at Wright State University. He was a respected employee serving as the Comptroller of A&B Foundry.

David loved his family and friends. He called his mother every Sunday to check on her and talk about politics, cooking, and movies. He enjoyed cooking, fishing, and watching the Bengals games on TV while texting “Who Dey!” on the phone with his brother Marc.

He was loved and respected by many. His friends and family loved his sarcastic wit, his dry sense of humor and infectious laugh. Since his passing, the outpouring of prayers and thoughts has been a comfort to his family.
