He confessed to Christ at an early age and joined New Providence Baptist Church in Columbus, Georgia.

Dave worked as a Dedicated Logistics Associate in Columbus and Atlanta, GA.

Dave’s favorite thing to do was to be around family and friends. He had a special gift of making others feel like a part of his family with generosity and kindness that had no boundaries. He was the definition of a true sports fanatic. He proudly repped the Georgia Bulldogs and Atlantic Falcons every chance he got, making unforgettable memories that will live on forever. Dave was truly the life of the party. He could light up the room with his remarkable smile and he never missed an opportunity to spread his joyous spirit. His greatest joy of all time was breaking bread with those whom he loved so dearly.
