His sisters, Sheree Turner and spouse Bill Proffitt of Van Buren and Tina Foster-Francis and spouse Paul Franics, of Guthrie, Oklahoma. Multiple nieces and nephews and great-nieces, who all thought the world of David.
David was a talented mechanic and automotive restoration specialist. He was remarkable for his ability to master anything with wheels. A true Mopar fan, who spent most of his free time at Centerville Dragway. Speed was in his blood; his cross country trips were epic, and sixty mile an hour go-karts are legendary. "Hey Dave"? "I'll be right there". David was always our first call, willing to help, listen and teach. Not a large man, but he had a big heart and amazing spirit. His kindness and generosity will be greatly missed.
He was cremated under the services of Lewis Funeral Chapel. A celebration of his life is pending the start of drag racing season.
