Preceded in death by his grandparents, Herman and Flora Jones, and his grandfather Davis Lee Bigham. David was born October 27, 1979 in Columbus, Georgia. David will be missed with his larger than life presence and all 6’7” that all who knew him loved. He enjoyed nature, especially the mountains of Gatlinburg where he spent many yearly vacations with his father and grandparents. He was enthralled with the beauty of Alaska on a cruise with his mother and brother. The beauty and tranquility of the beach always brought him peace. David studied television production and hoped to one day write a successful screenplay. He was an expert on movies, directors, producers, and actors. He was an avid reader who self-taught himself facts about history and civilizations. David’s life included struggles that made him a stronger and more focused person. His positive attitude, sense of humor, and compassion toward his friends and family motivated and challenged him in his quest for happiness and success. He was adept at finding and adopting stray animals, most recently a stray cat. He was so kind-hearted. David read and stayed aware of all the world news and was always questioning the senseless violence some people show toward each other. David was thankful for, and knew that he had, unconditional love and support from his entire family. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to Pet Rescue by Judy, Sanford, Florida.
