Mama's soldier and protector, beloved son and brother. David was a proud soldier in the US Army and a Nashville recording artist. David loved God, his country, and family more than life itself. David loved to feel the air on his face, riding his bike, being as he always said, "A Momma's boy", being part of nature, and spending time with his family and friends gave him so much joy and peace.
