David grew up in Nashville where he attended Father Ryan High School and Glencliff High School where he graduated in 1983. He married Janet England in 1996 and they welcomed their son Sawyer to the family in 1998.

Family has always been an important part of David's life. From working at Varallo Foods, to his decades long friendship with his cousin Mike, David has always valued his relationships with loved ones. He was especially proud of his son Sawyer and treasured the the trips, outings and travel they did together. 

David was a people person and never met a stranger. He used his people skills most recently to create a successful career as a car salesman. Although David struggled with addiction and would be the first to tell you that he made many mistakes in his life, he had been sober for 3 years. His soberity was a testament to his willingness to acknowledge his problem, submit to God and be persistent in surrounding himself with a sober community through AA.
