David was born on August 30, 1960, to Joe and Doris Trull.
David began his entrepreneurial career as the founder of Performance Software, International. A life-long resident of Charlotte, he was interested in all the latest real estate developments and new cultural experiences as they evolved in the older neighborhoods where he grew up. His hobbies included art, music, travel, gardening and occasionally cycling and working out.
David’s family and friends knew him as a fun-loving, generous and kind soul. Loving all people equally, he saw only the good qualities in friends he admired. He looked to the future with optimism, and so shall we remember him.
In addition to his sister Kathleen Short of Petersburg, VA, he is survived by niece Allison Short Beatty and her children, Mohammed and Safia; aunt Jane Vickery, uncle Gene Hughes; his many close friends, and small furry friend Lucy.
