David Andrew White, age 56, of Springfield, Missouri, left this earth on December 24, 2019. David was born on September 27, 1963, in Downey, California, to Lester and Deloris White.

David graduated from Parkview High School in 1981. He worked as a skilled arborist for Able Tree Service. Not having Children, his nephews, Joshua and Jacob, and niece, Sarah, brought joy and happiness to his life, as well as his beloved pets, Briquette, a black lab, and Sophia his giant, breed, Akash.

David had an appreciation for the outdoor activities: spending time camping, grilling, and feasting on a good steak, kayaking, and being on and near the water. Having many interests he spent time creating highly detailed drawing, and was enthusiastic about collection and trading rare knives. Being an avid motorcyclist he took great pleasure and pride in his Harley Davidson, riding it year around.

David went above and beyond to help others. He will be sorely missed and never forgotten.

David is survived by his parents; a brother and his wife, Monte and Janice White; nephews, Joshua White and Jacob White; niece, Sarah Waicher; and longtime companion, Sherry Iott.

We love you dearly, David Andrew
