David, better known as baby, daddy, pops, and brother was one of the simplest and purest souls that God ever created. His amazing hugs would soothe and sweet kisses would warm your entirety.
He followed after Jesus and spent his life as a simple, carpenter, working tirelessly to support his family. He was honest, hard-working, and above all loved unconditionally anyone that was brought into his life.
David passed away Saturday, September 9, 2023 at the age of 71. He was born on March 27, 1952 to Hubert and Addie Eggleton in Cordele Georgia, where he grew up, met the love of his life, Elaine, at the age of 21 married her and made one of the most spectacular lives with her. They just celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary on June 2, 2023.
David and Elaine has two girls, Michelle and Shannon. He took pride in his family and was a devoted family man always making time for his wife, his girls and all his grandchildren. Having his family all together was his greatest joy in life.
David loved baseball, Go Braves, he loved music and was a bass player in his church’s praise band. He also loved being on the river fishing for that big catch.
David is preceded in death by his father, Hubert and his mother, Addie and three of his grandsons: Luke, Hayden and James. He is survived by his wife, Elaine; his daughters: Michelle (Chad) and Shannon; his grandkids: Brennan Eggleton (Jacklyn), Garret Messer (Brenna), Lauren “Tyler” Messer, Addison Turcanu (Vergil), Robert Waters Jr., Madalyn Livingston and Molly Livingston and his great-granddaughter, Amilia Turcanu. He is also survived by his sister, Patricia Westbrook; brother-in-law, Dick Westbrook; niece, Rene Westbrook and nephew, Jeff Westbrook.
He will be greatly missed, but the love that he shared will continue to live on through the generations that him and his wife started 50 years ago. “Go rest high on that Mountain son, you’re work on earth is done”
