During his illness, he enjoyed and looked forward to his weekly visits from his old friend, Bill Blankenship. They shared stories and their love for the Lord.

Paul David was loved by so many and was known as the "Gentle Giant". He loved his wife and boys with everything in him.
He was a loving family man whose smile and laugh lit up the room. He enjoyed helping others and never met a stranger. Perhaps his favorite times were spent outdoors enjoying nature. He loved hunting with his friends, fishing with his boys, and riding his side-by-side with Machele and the crew which were Joey and Bert Robinson and Robert and Julie Booth.
As his illness progressed, he was an inspiration to all and enjoyed his home visits from his family, church family, and friends.
He loved receiving facetime calls from his uncle, William Lowe, nieces, nephews, and friends. He wanted them to know just how much he loved them, but God loved them more!
The family wishes to express their heartfelt gratitude to Bluegrass Care Navigators for their compassionate care, kindness, and unwavering support during this time.
A man of deep abiding faith, Paul David was a member of Anchor Point Church, where he loved his brothers and sisters. His quiet strength and kindness were a testimony to all that knew him.
He will be greatly missed by all who loved him. To ensure his family and friend knew just how much he loved them, his final message on his machine was "Let everyone know how much I loved them and thank you."
