Born December 10, 1942 to the late Nellie Daniels Purcell and Luther Levan Daniels. Dave graduated from Greensboro Senior High where he was an avid baseball player. After high school he enjoyed playing and coaching softball. He worked at Direct Transport, Inc in Greensboro for 23 years and proudly served his country in the N.C. National Guard.
The most precious people in his life were his daughter, Blair, and his grandchildren, Hannah and Jacob, who affectionately called him “Big Daddy”. Dave enjoyed fishing, golfing with friends, NASCAR racing, and shagging to beach music. He was well thought of by his friends for his generosity and fun-loving nature. To friends and family, Dave was known as the king of “one-liners”.
