He serviced in the U.S. Army during Vietnam. David was a factory worker and pastor of The Salvation Army who enjoyed spending time with his family, playing with his dogs and watching Nascar, Western Shows & Movies, being outside in yard and playing BookWorm on his computer. He also loved meeting people with a smile and ready to help or have a conversation. He was always ready to just listen or give some advice whether you wanted to hear it or not. He loved to joke around and give those close to him a hard time to make sure they laughed or walked away with a smile. He was the ultimate example of being a survivor under all circumstances and showing a positive attitude through it all. Surviving are his loving wife Elizabeth Wright of Belleview, FL, son Darren & Veronica Wright of Virginia Beach, VA, daughter Kim & Sean Lewis of Middleburg, FL, beloved granddaughters Chantal, Devin, and Jennifer and grandsons Jonah, Javyon, Xavier, Tavyon, and Marvin, and brother Keith & Sandra of Summerfield, FL, and Uncle John & Aunt Marilyn, many cousins and several nieces and nephews. David is reunited in Heaven with his parents and brothers Donnie & Gary.
