He then went to Dow Chemical TS&D, working his way up to becoming a Senior Developmental Chemist, and then project leader at Dow where he developed a number of patents.
David had a passion for golfing, fishing, hunting, and sports especially the Texas Aggies, Houston Texans, and Astros. He was known for his quick wit, his infectious smile, and his kind and compassionate spirit, and believed that his greatest accomplishment in life were his two children.
David was preceded in death by his father, Ben, mother, Diane, and his son, Brad.
