After proudly serving his country in the United States Army, David followed in his father's footsteps and became an owner/operator trucker, leasing with JP Graham Transport, Inc., the last 30 years.
David enjoyed his family and the outdoor life, camping, four wheeling, and vacationing on his Harley during bike week. David was a hard worker and enjoyed helping others. A fixer upper, Dave would call himself a "Jack of all trades, master of none."

Committal Services with Military Rites performed by the American Legion Honor Guard will follow at the Chapel Hill Memorial Gardens Cemetery, Weirton.
My heart goes out to David’s closest family and friends. I will miss him. He was a blessing to me and my family in many ways, especially by personal sacrifices and acts of kindness. He was good and kind to me always. I know he is with the Lord and I intend to see him again with the Lord. Thank you for touching my life with yours Dave.
I went to high school with David and I remember him well. The time that his close friends and family had with him was far too short. May his memory be eternal.
I have known Dave for 25 yrs..although we did not live close, I considered him a close friend. My deepest sympathy goes out to Diane and Dave’s Mom and the rest of the family.
May God hold you in his loving arms during this sad time, Dave is now at peace and without pain. We will miss him and his sense of humor.
Sincerely,
Ed Jenkins

Dear family of David,
The Bible promises us that soon, our Creator will ‘swallow up death forever, and wipe the tears from all faces’ Isaiah 25:8.
What a wonderful future hope that is.
There is much Bible based comfort, including answers to questions such as “what is the purpose of life?” “What happens when we die?” “why does God allow suffering?”, to be found on the website http://www.jw.org
My father is an amazing person. He has a rare kind of unconditional love that he has given to so many people.I am truly blessed to have someone so incredible in my life. I love you dad and I look forward to seeing you again! I am glad the suffering is over for you,however, I pray for strength,for my family and I, to help fill the lost and empty feeling. I thank you dad for all you are and all you gave. You are always with me and you will always be my real life SUPERMAN!
