David worked and supported his family in the auto sales industry at various dealerships around the Houston area. He loved spending his evenings and weekends watching his grandchildren play baseball and softball. After his retirement, he became enthusiastic about lawncare where he took on several clients to pass his time during the days. He would pass on his advice about your lawn whether you wanted it or not. That was true with about everything. He was never one sitting around and doing nothing.

The visitation will begin at 12:00pm and the funeral service will begin at 1:00pm, followed by his interment at Grandview Cemetery.
