David was a dedicated and hardworking family man. He worked for the same steel company for over 25 years and spent the rest of his career working with his brothers in their Construction businesses. Everyone who knew David felt his big heart and giving nature as he was such a selfless soul. He had a great sense of humor and thoroughly enjoyed making people laugh with his quick-witted one-liners. Nothing was more important to him than taking care of his family and it was never more evident than when he meticulously cared for his ill wife for nearly 15 years. He was a huge fan of all sports but he especially loved the Astros. He loved to be outside and would sit for hours just to absorb nature with all its sounds and beauty.
