He was also survived by nieces, and nephews, as well as many friends and extended family members who will miss him dearly. David was hardworking and dedicated. He spent 60 years working as a machinist, including working at Copper Weld for 26 years, and at Petersen Machine and Repair Shop for 15 years, where he was known for his intelligence and kindness in helping others. Despite his many responsibilities, he always made time for his family and his passions. David’s hobbies and interests helped to define who he was. He was a former member of the Lebanon Presbyterian church where he was a deacon and elder. He served in the U.S. Army and received a certificate of nomination. He enjoyed camping, spending time with his family, old cars and motorcycles, Lionel trains, and often spent his weekend at the Mountain Pines Campground.

He was a man of kindness, generosity, and humor, and he left a lasting impact on everyone who knew him. David was preceded in death by his siblings Billy, Kathleen, Ruth, Betty, Tommy, and great-granddaughter Adalyn.
