David leaves countless friends; acquaintances as he was fearless to talk to anybody and learn about their journey, while leaving the new friend or acquaintance with a story to tell others about their encounter with David, A.K.A. Iggy T. Hippie. David was a ground radio operator for the U.S. Air Force, and a master screen printer, which was a job he did with a passion for many years for companies across the country. He was a self-taught Ukulele player, and as many friends and family would pen him as a music trivia wizard and had knowledge of all genres of music. But, most importantly of all David
David loved his family very much, especially his children and his grandson, Jaden. Love was one of the most memorable characteristics of him. David’s children could always look to him for advice, confide in him about personal issues, or come to him for a laugh to brighten their day. He will be sorely missed, and his absence will go far from unnoticed amongst his family.
