David was born to Earl Davis and Avonell F. Patterson on July 19, 1959 in Phenix City, Alabama where he also grew up. He worked for Parkhill Cemetery as the Operations Manager for 15 years.
His family remembers him as a loving, kind man with a warm smile who treasured a good joke and relished in making people laugh. He was a huge Auburn football fan and tremendously enjoyed a first-rate tailgate party. He was particularly fond of taking his children on excursions to his beloved Brave’s baseball games. One of David’s greatest pleasures in life was a good day in the garden communing with all that grows. He is dearly missed.
