He was a servant to many. He spent much of his time feeding those who were hungry, helping cloth those in need, and he was always an unwavering friend to the friendless. David was a retired employee of the Conway Human Development Center where he worked for almost thirty years. David graduated from Conway High School and later went on to finish a degree from the University of the State of New York. David served a short time in the United States Airforce. He enjoyed spending time outdoors, traveling to see new places, visiting with strangers, assisting those with disabilities, strong coffee, music, lots of chocolate, boating, skiing, and multiple water sports.

He was currently attending the First United Methodist Church of Little Rock. A celebration of David's life will be held at Roller-McNutt Funeral Home in Conway Arkansas on Saturday July 22, 2023. Visitation will begin at 2p.m. followed by a service memorial at 3p.m. In lieu of flowers memorial contributions may be made to the Conway Human Development Center Volunteer Council.
