Jimmy Miller wrote a sympathy message

“David was a generous and loving father-in-law. He faithfully supported Debra and me as we pursued our ministry calling, and that meant more than he probably ever knew. He often invited me to preach where he ministered, but I preferred sitting and listening to him. I’m grateful for his life, his faith, and the steady love he showed our family.”
