David Thomas Rochester

David Rochester, age 37 of Jackson, Ga, passed away on Saturday, November 15th, 2025 peacefully with his family by his side.

David was born on November 30th, 1987 in Atlanta, Ga. He grew up in Morrow, Ga, where he was an accomplished student athlete.

Outside of his great commitment to work, David devoted his free time to his children. He enjoyed hunting, grilling, baseball and was an avid Georgia bulldog fan. He worked in the car industry for more than two solid decades. He loved spending quality time with others.

He will be remembered for his warm smile, contagious laugh, his off the wall jokes and sense of humor. He could make anyone laugh. He was stubborn as hell and always down for a good time.

David's thoughtfulness and kindness extended beyond his family. He had a unique ability to make everyone feel valued and loved. His humor and spirit will be deeply missed, but his legacy of love and friendship will live on in the hearts of those he touched forever.

David is survived by his sons, Maddox & Hudson Rochester, and their mother Allison Leatherwood; his sisters, Meagan Dean and Hannah Colbert; his brother Clay Potter; his nephews, Elijah and Levi Dean; his step-father, James Dean; several aunts, uncles, cousins and loved ones. He was preceded in death by his mother, Eileen Dean; his aunt, Pam Craft; and his father, Brian Potter.

A viewing will be held on Monday, November 24th, 2025 at 11:00 am at Haisten Funerals and Cremations in McDonough, Ga. and will be followed by his Celebration of Life service at 1:00 pm.
