David was born September 22, 1956, at the Norfolk Naval Station in Virginia. After serving his country proudly in the United States Navy, he went on to attend Michigan State University where he studied horticulture.

One of David's greatest passions was genealogy. He spent countless hours researching his family history, tracing his roots back generations. David was proud of his heritage and loved sharing his findings with his family and friends. He was always eager to hear about their own family stories and loved to connect with others who shared his interest.

David was a fun-loving person who had a great sense of humor. He was always eager to make people smile and was beloved by all who knew him. But it was his genuine and kind nature that truly set him apart. David was always willing to lend a helping hand, to listen when someone needed a shoulder to lean on, and to offer words of encouragement when they were needed most. He never sought recognition or reward for his acts of kindness, but instead, lived his life with a humble and selfless spirit.

David was a loving husband to his wife, Susan Osborn. Together, they were a true partnership, and Susan will miss him deeply. They raised two beautiful daughters, Kaitlyn and Melissa, who will always remember their father as a strong and loving presence in their lives.
