David attended school and graduated from Cordell High School. He married Valerie Merritt and to this union two children were born. David was a salesman for COORS and received recognition as Salesman of the Year. Later he owned and operated the Bessie Y, until the expansion of the 183 Highway caused him to shut the doors.
