First and foremost, David loved Jesus, his Lord and Savior. He attended Crosspoint Church and passionately shared his testimony with others. He was blessed with an honorable and successful marriage to Loni Shaw, largely due to their shared faith. David and Loni built up a successful small business, the Boo-Shaw bakery, over the last 8 years. David always had a passion for cheering on and encouraging others. He avidly served the homeless in the local community and also served with the Good News Jail Ministry. He was musically gifted and loved playing music in church and celebration events. David had a passion for baseball, playing minor leagues for the Houston Outlaws and other teams. David was very mechanically minded and could create something out of nothing. He also loved to play golf.
