David married Florinda Martinex on February 17th, 1976. David and Florinda moved to Borego Springs, CA in 1993 where they built a new home and purchased a gift store. David was a wonderful tour guide; often inviting people from the Barnesville area to visit them in sunny California. David was a health nut who worked out at the YMCA long before it was cool to run a marathon. One day David’s wife Florinda answered a knock on the door from some neighborhood kids wondering if “the boy” could come and play. David enjoyed a good laugh and loved to tease. He loved photography, many sports, and loved animals. David walked his beloved dog Ebony daily.

David is also survived by many cousins and great nephews.   He was preceded in death by his parents; and his wife Florinda.
