“Dave” or “Cosmo” is known in the community for drumming in local bands and churches. His musical career began as a trumpet player in Elementary, Junior High and High School. He also enjoyed playing the piano & harmonica and singing.

He had many different work experiences as a land surveyor, printing press operator, pizza chef, forklift driver, electrical worker, and book publishing order processor, but he regarded his most important job as being Daddy to four beautiful children and a special step daughter, Kaylee Riddle Hurt.

David grew up playing softball and baseball and was a pitcher in several church and community softball leagues. He loved outdoor activities such as fishing, camping, and hanging out around a fire. He was blessed with many friends from work, church, band gigs, and throughout the community. If you “hung out with Dave,” you were sure to have a smile on your face. David’s family will long remember his love for them, his many funny faces & jokes, and intense passion for Alabama football.

A memorial service will be held on Saturday, Feb 5 at 1:00 pm at First Baptist Church, Bolivar, TN. Visitation begins at noon.
