David loved 13 grandchildren and one great grandchild and enjoyed their company.
David was a Bible teacher and praise leader from his high school days until recently. He became an ordained minister in 1983. Even when he was not pastoring a church, he was teaching and helping people.
His formal education included high school in St. James, MO, class of 1955; one year at Rolla School of Mines (where he had an architectural drawing class he used all his life); a term at Springfield's Southwest Missouri State; 9 months of intensive Chinese language at Yale University for the USAF; some night college courses from Anderson Bible College, Indiana; a short-termed electronics course from Kansas City, graduated from the first software class from BHP steel company, Newcastle, Australia; 9 months in a Bible training school in Australia.
He liked farming concord grapes in MO & WA. He enjoyed fixing and building. He has built houses. He built a pioneer church building in Wyoming. The work of his hands has blessed many family and friends.
Besides all of the above he loved his home groups, friends, and churches. He was a prolific fiction reader. He liked camping, hiking, driving, barbequing, making and eating homemade ice cream. In all things he believed in walking in the Spirit with his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. He is and will be greatly missed.

Special love and prayers go to Mary Jo and family. David was always a great Christian young man. He was in my Youth group at the St.James Christian Church, in St. James, Missouri 1955-1958. He sang in a mixed quartet, sing in choir, gave excellent bible lessons. I know he is enjoying Jesus, now. He has loved Him all his life. May God truly continue to bless his life thru his children and grandchildren. Ed and Joretta Wools, St. James, Missouri.
