David Bushman

David Eugene Bushman, age 66 of Burleson, Texas, went to be with the Lord on Friday, January 14, 2022. He was born March 4, 1955 in Temple, Texas to Gene and Margie (Anderson) Bushman. David attended Baylor University where he met the love of his life, Patti. Discerning a call to ministry, he entered Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary and earned a Masters Degree in Religious Education. David had a God-given love for young people and spent his life investing in them. He spent 20 years serving as a youth minister in churches in Allen, Grand Prairie, and Vernon, influencing countless lives along the way. He continued to faithfully carry out this calling when he became an educator, teaching and mentoring middle school students until his retirement in 2018. Closest to David’s heart were his family and his faith. He was an exceptional wood worker who delighted in making beautiful gifts for friends and loved ones. He adored his children and grandchildren and treasured every moment he spent with them.

David was preceded in death by his father, Gene Bushman.

He leaves behind to cherish his memory: his loving wife of 42 years, Patti Bushman; son, Chris Bushman; son, Casey Bushman and daughter-in-law Sarah; daughter, Cara Freeze and son-in-law Josh; grandchildren, Hattie Bushman, Grace Bushman, Olivia Freeze and Charlotte Bushman; mother, Margie Bushman; brother, Chuck Bushman (Lana); sisters, Jan Yount (Lou) and Barbara Faulkner; along with several nieces, nephews, extended family and friends.
