A very fun, loving and faithful man, David was always a true gentleman and made a friend everywhere he went. He was very handy and could build anything, even building his own home. A true outdoorsman, David enjoyed hunting, fishing, drag racing, off-roading in his Jeep and doing wheelies on his bicycle but most of all he loved spending time with his family and friends always looking for the next new adventure. David was a proud member of the Dauntless Jeep Club and an active member of the Radiant Church in Richland for more than 15 years.
