David loved his children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren fiercely; no matter how far away they lived or how long it had been since they'd last spoken. He was very proud of his Texas roots and had endless stories of his childhood and the wonderful people that surrounded him growing up in the south. Living in Michigan for over 30 years, people would notice his southern accent and always ask where he was from. He'd just laugh and say, "Texas, the best state."The family will celebrate David's life with a memorial scheduled for October 12, 2019 at 1:00pm in Dallas, Texas. All are welcome to attend. Please contact one of his children for details. Condolences may be sent to: 28588 Pierce Street, Southfield, Michigan 48076
