David was born in Memphis, TN and grew up in Selmer, TN where he received a degree in Electrical Engineering. He joined the Army National Guard of Tennessee in 1960 and served for 7 years. He was discharged in 1967. David began work for General Dynamics/Lockheed Martin directly out of college, starting on August 2, 1967 as an electrical engineer in flight testing systems in Fort Worth, TX, where he worked for over 37 years. He retired from there in February 2005.
David married Nancy in 1995 in Arlington, TX. They were happily married for 24 years. David enjoyed running, biking, taking trips and investing.
Survivors: Wife, Nancy of Burleson, TX; son, Matt Henley of Spring, TX; daughter, Christi Sweet of Crowley, TX; grandchildren, Thomas Jobe, Justin Sweet; great-grandchildren, Austin Jobe and his nieces and other relatives.
The family wishes to extend their gratitude to all of the staff at Texas Health Huguley Hospital especially the PCU floor and CICU. They treated Dave with kindness, respect and love. We were blessed that David got to hold and pet Daisy, his beloved dog, towards the end and that he was surrounded by family. David loved music (ask the nurses on the PCU floor) and had a wide and varied taste, but especially classical. David was an avid runner and biker for many years, and ran 50 marathons. David was a longtime member and served on the Board of Directors of the Fort Worth Runners Club (FWRC). He and Nancy met while running.
Isaiah 40:31 "but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow heavy, they will walk and not be faint
