David was a Philsophy/English professor at Blinn College in Brenham. He retired in 1993. After retirement he enjoyed lots of woodworking, growing a garden, and reading. He enjoyed spending time in the woods gathering logs to haul to the family owned sawmill where he would cut them up into lumber. He was a dedicated member of Ebenezer for many years serving in many capacities. He enjoyed spending time with his grandkids and the grandkids really enjoyed being spoiled by their “Opa”.

Special thank you to his daughter-in-law for all the help through David’s health struggles over the past several years.
