Obituary - David Black

David Black, a beloved husband, father, brother, uncle, and friend to many, passed away on April 28th, 2024 in Kingsville, Missouri. He was born on September 7th, 1974 in Arkansas to his loving parents Vonda and Paul Black.

David's life was marked by his unwavering dedication to his family and the pursuit of excellence in all that he did. His passion for heavy hauling at Dehn Demolition was evident to all who knew him; he poured himself into his work with an unmatched fervor. David found joy in tinkering with vehicles and immersing himself in nature's beauty. These passions were not just hobbies but integral parts of who he was—a man deeply connected to the world around him.

He leaves behind a legacy of love and devotion that will forever be cherished by those closest to him. David is survived by his mother Vonda Black; sister Jennifer Black; wife Amanda Black; daughter Sumar and her husband Bryant; son Tylere and daughter-in-law Lexsi; nieces Alyssa, Lizzy, Brandy; nephew Kevin; grandchildren Celeste, Braylon, Sawyer; great-nephews Maysen and Zane as well as numerous extended family members and friends.

The loss of David has left an indelible void within the hearts of those who had the privilege of knowing him. His absence will be felt keenly by all whose lives were touched by his kindness and generosity.

In this time of mourning we take solace in knowing that David is now reunited with his father Paul Black—may they find peace together beyond this earthly realm.

A memorial service will be held at White Church Cemetery in Gaither Arkansas on May 6, 2024.

David’s presence graced our lives with warmth and light—he will be dearly missed but never forgotten.
