David Scott Sargent was given unto this life Feb. 18, 1956, and taken on New Year's Eve at home with a heart attack. He passed in the presence of his family that he so loved. He was the son of Herb Sargent (Colorado) and Ernestine Frye (Reno).
He was left fatherless at a young age. Being a troubled child instilled a desire in him to help others have greater self-esteem. Through martial arts, he took pride in helping his students gain strength, coordination and confidence, teaching that the art was for defense and never to cause pain without a just cause. Each class ended with the Lord's prayer.
He started training in 1980, and taught 10 years at the Y.M.C.A. with a first degree black belt. In 1995, he opened his own studio and earned a third degree black belt. He taught until 1999 and retired. He also worked in health care for many years.
Scott had a great sense of humor. His favorite sport was Nascar. His entire life was spent in Marietta, where he was born and raised for the exception of six years in the military, being released with an honorable discharge.
In addition to his parents, he is survived by his lovely wife, Christie, who he adored; four daughters, Megan (Richard) Keller, Marietta, Ammie Cline, Columbus, Racheal and Sarah of the home; five grandchildren, Madelynn, Tyler, Emily, Hannah, Cassidy; one sister, Deanna (Bill) Kuhn, Fleming; two brothers, Lyndall (Karen) Sargent, Virginia, Shane Sargent, Athens.
Preceding him in death were his four grandparents; his first wife, Marcy Doan Sargent; a beloved nephew, Todd Doan; and his stepfather, Don Frye.
Funeral services were held at the Celebration Center, where he opened services every Sunday morning. His pastor, Gordan Deer, officiating.
The praise and worship songs that he so loved were played and sang by the church, ending with the recording of, "Go Rest High on That Mountain."
Interment was in Salem Township Cemetery with full military honors.
"I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith," 2nd Timothy, Chapter 4, Verse 7.
So go rest high on that mountain, Scott. Our love goes with you and we, too, will keep the faith.
