He proudly served his country in the United States Army as an engineer and was honorably discharged in 1972.
On Oct. 19, 1985, he married Lou Ann Calir, and together they shared more than 35 years of marriage until her passing on Jan. 29, 2021.
Before retiring, David devoted his career to the art of barbering, a trade he truly loved. He served customers at Greens Barber Shop in Delta; County Barber Shop in Swanton; Styles Inn in Toledo; and the Barber Shop for Men in Scottsdale, Ariz.
David enjoyed golfing, racing—especially NASCAR—and cheering on his Ohio State Buckeyes.
He is survived by his daughter, Ann (Brian) Newton of Perrysburg; his son, Scott (Kam) Warner of Perrysburg; and his beloved grandchildren, JP Newton, Chase (Addison) Newton, and Drew Newton; and Grayson, Del, and Lola Warner. He is also survived by many loving nieces and nephews.
