David was always self-employed as a small engine repairman, a cattleman, a cattle buyer/shipper, auto-transmission rebuilder, a rabbit breeder and for the last 30 years he mined and sold decorative landscaping boulders. David was a generous man who went out of his way to help others.
He had a quick wit, a playful sense of humor and was an amazing storyteller able to keep his family and friends entertained for hours. He always had something to talk about or something to do and was able to make a friend out of anyone he met.
He was also an avid fisherman and hunter who enjoyed spending time outside whether in the trees or on the boat. When he was feeling particularly rambunctious he would trick his nieces, nephews and grandkids into picking sand plums, so he could make his homemade wine.
