Shelli and Jarrod and family, Sorry to hear of your Father’s passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you today. With Deepest Sympathies, Jerry and Travis Cross
I worked with and was a friend of David during our employment at the Decatur Police Department. David was a good police officer... and more importantly a fine man. I enjoyed many beverages with David at the club. I know he will be greatly missed by family and friends. Hopefully his family will find comfort knowing he is now at Peace with his Lord and Savior.
Blessings to David's family.
Praying for comfort and strength during this difficult time may God bless you. I worked with Dave at DPD and he was so helpful and fun to be around.

Working with Dave at the Decatur Police Dept. We had so much fun riding together, handling the calls we were dispatched to and just sharing joke and laughs. He was a good cop and loyal friend over the years. I had no idea he was sick. I hadn’t seen him in years but I thought of him often. I’m sure he is enjoying his new life and seeing old friends and family. What a super guy he was and I hope to see him again.
I’ve known Dave since our high school years. He was two years older than me and he lived in a neighborhood about a mile from me. My mom didn’t like me hanging around with him and his friends, I suppose mostly because they were a little older and maybe wilder than she thought I was. did she know. 😉. Well, a few years later he started dating Laurie and they got married. Mom grew to love him like the rest of us. He loved my sister and his children unconditionally and it showed. He will always be missed. 🙏
On behalf of the Decatur Police and Macon County Sheriffs retirees, please accept our heartfelt condolences for your loss. Dave was one of a kind and we will miss his sense of humor and that smile. Those of us who worked with him all have stories about Dave that bring smiles to our faces.
R.I.P. Dave.
