He graduated from Butler High School in Hartsville, South Carolina. During this time, David was a multi sports athlete who played football, basketball, and baseball. In addition to his love for sports, he had a great singing voice and was part of the glee club. David moved to New York City at the age of nineteen and worked for the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation. Subsequently, he became a professional tree climber and started his own tree service business. He became one of the best tree surgeons in the city. David was introduced to Janet McLawhorn by her uncle, Joseph Doctor and married on August 6, 1977 in Brooklyn, New York. Through this union, they were blessed with two daughters, Dana and Christina. David was most affectionately known as “Bae” or “Pop”. His three girls - Dana, Christina, and granddaughter, Jordyn were his pride and joy. His eyes would light up and laughter would fill the room when he spoke of them. His kind heart and forgiving nature was unquestionable. Dave, as some would call him, was a numbers man that loved to talk trash. He was a great storyteller who lived his life to the fullest. He has touched the lives of countless people and he will never be forgotten. On Wednesday afternoon, April 24, 2024, David was peacefully called home to be with the Lord.
