David Hood, 64, passed away on July 28, 2025, in Dallas, Texas. Born on September 23, 1960, in the same city he called home throughout his life, David left behind a legacy of devotion to family, a passion for speed and sports, and a reputation as a hardworking and inventive spirit.
He is survived by his daughter, Brandy, and her children Kason and Izabella;daughter and son-in-law, Chelsey and Nick, and their children Madison, Mason, and Sean Maddon; his mother, Sarah; brother, Chris; and a host of nieces and nephews, aunts,uncles, and cousins. He was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Pamela; son, Sean; father, Charles; and brother, Charles Wayne.
A true family man by nature, David was known for his unwavering dedication as a husband, father, and son. He consistently put others before himself and found joy in supporting those he loved. Whether cheering from the sidelines at his grandchildren’s football, baseball, basketball, or volleyball games or attending drag races and car shows with close friends and family, David’s presence was always felt—and cherished.
David’s love for all things fast defined much of his life. A lifelong sports enthusiast and adrenaline junkie, he rarely missed a NASCAR race or motocross event. Golf also held a special place in his heart—whether watching tournaments or playing Golden Tee with friends, he embraced the thrill of competition and camaraderie alike.
Professionally, David was a self-made man who built a thriving business through his machinist and engineering skills. His creativity and innovation were evident in the many inventions he brought to life over the years. His work ethic was matched only by his ingenuity—a combination that earned him admiration from peers and clients alike.
To know David was to love him. He had the rare ability to be both “a guy’s guy” and someone with an unmistakably gentle heart. His warmth drew people in; his loyalty kept them close.
David Hood will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him. May his memory bring comfort to those who carry it forward.
