David was a United States Army veteran of the Vietnam War.

He last worked for Learjet in Tucson, Arizona and previously worked for Keystone Steel & Wire Company.

David was an avid motorcycle enthusiast and was always working on Harley Davidson motorcycles as he was mechanically inclined. He also loved his time spent living in the desert.

The family would like to offer a sincere thanks to the staff of the Illinois Veterans Home in Quincy, especially the Schapper's unit, for their excellent care. They even graciously arranged a final Harley Davidson salute on the Monday before his passing.

Memorial contributions may be made to the Tazewell Area Ceremonial Team or any veterans charity.
