David Rarey

David proudly served his country in the United States Army through the RCA Program before beginning a successful 30-year career as a computer technician with Unisys. A gifted problem solver with a passion for technology, he enjoyed working with computers throughout his life.

A devoted man of faith, David was a faithful member of East Livingston Baptist Church for 48 years. During that time, he served the church in many different capacities, always willing to lend a helping hand wherever he was needed. He had a deep love for music, treasured time spent with his family, and was known for his wonderful sense of humor that brought smiles to those around him.
