David was described as a loving family man that enjoyed playing jokes on people and making them smile.

He was also known to dance with a shovel on a construction site just to make the guys smile. David enjoyed spending time with his grandchildren and cooking for his family. His barbecue was one of a kind and people enjoyed it so much that he opened "First Choice BBQ" in Adairville, KY. His joy for cooking became a source that provided not only a meal for his family but memories that will be treasured forever.
