several local businesses in the area including Daylight Donuts and Double D’s. They were active
members of the community where many of his friends knew him as “Donut”. David enjoyed fixing

daughter’s houses and helping many friends. David was a man that could always make you laugh and
found much happiness in laughter. In 2007, David and Carter moved to Oklahoma City to be close to
