David graduated Phi Beta Kappa from the University of Kentucky. He continued his education at the University of Kentucky College of Law. David worked as an attorney in Eastern Kentucky. He was a fierce and loyal advocate for his clients. David also served his community as state senator.

David was a veracious reader and lifelong scholar. He could quote most lines of Shakespeare or the Bible with ease. David loved being in nature and playing bluegrass music.

When faced with the grim prognosis of a terminal illness, David proclaimed, “I’ve lived a good life!” While we are filled with immeasurable sorrow due to his passing, we are grateful to have had the privilege of knowing and loving David.
