After high school, David started working at the Alliance Country Club, Groves Appliance, and First Christian Church for 14 years. He was a family friend of Keith and Peggy Brill, and employee of Lingenfelter Brill for many years, assisting with special events.
David was a lifetime member of the First Christian Church.
David married Brenda J. (Morrison) Moore-Rotuna, October 17, 2009, which brought David happiness and blessed him with an even larger, loving family.
He loved to be with people, no matter where he would be, Disneyworld, Ocean City or Silver Park, someone would see David and yell, hey "Tuna."
He was a hard worker, and a man with a golden heart.

(Morrison) Moore-Rotuna; step-children, Danielle Moore (Andre' Teixeira), Nicole (Aaron) Jones, Thomas Moore (Melissa Kerrigan) and Tyler Moore (Andrea Blake); grandchildren, Tra, Leah, Tori, Mari, and Braxtyn; siblings, James K.

Funeral services will be held at 1 p.m. Friday, July 20, 2012 at Feed My Sheep Ministries with Pastor Bobby Williams officiating.
We, David's family, are thankful that we had the opportunity to experience life with him and that we will all be together again.
