David graduated from John Marshall High School and earned his Associate’s Degree in Accounting from Olive Harvey College. He was self-employed in the entertainment industry.
David was an active member of Second Baptist Church, helping with the music ministry. He loved music, his church, playing dice, especially 10,000, and barbequing. He was a valued member of and enjoyed the friendships of the Xclusiv Card Club. Some would say that David was a connoisseur of macaroni and cheese, fried chicken, ribs, and liver. David was a family man, who enjoyed spending time with his children, family gatherings, and laughing and having a good time.
