avid Carlton Ring, Jr., 51, passed away on Wednesday, August 29, 2018 at Memorial Health University Medical Center after a sudden illness.

A resident of Jesup for nearly thirty years, David was born on March 21, 1967 in Waycross, GA. He spent his early years there and was a 1985 Graduate of Waycross High School where he played football and was offered a scholarship to Presbyterian College. David declined the scholarship opportunity and opted to begin his college career at Georgia Tech. In 1989, he was recipient of a Bachelor’s Degree from Lee University in Cleveland, TN and later recipient of a Master’s Degree from Georgia Southern University. David taught for twenty-nine years in the Wayne County School System, the last twenty-four being at Martha Puckett Middle School. He was co-chair of the Wayne County Relay for Life for many years along with his wife, Lisa who is also a cancer survivor. David worked with the Beta Club at school and was a very active member of Calvary Baptist Church for almost twenty years. He served on numerous committees, volunteered in the sound booth and had worked many years as the Sunday School Superintendent. David was a history buff who loved reading and collecting books and magazines and whether he was meditating, taking pictures of wildlife or coaching children’s sports teams, he enjoyed spending time in the outdoors. David was a family man and will be fondly remembered for his loving and caring nature.
His mother, Yvonne D. Williams; maternal grandparents, Albert and Willie Jean Douglas; paternal grandparents, Ralph K. Ring and George S. and Mezzo Ring Davis and father-in-law, Vernon G. Cooper all preceded him in death.

Survivors include his wife of twenty-four years, Lisa Cooper Ring of Jesup; three children, Alexander Ring of Jacksonville, Galiya Ring of Jacksonville and Cooper Ring of Cleveland, TN; his father and mother, David Carlton Ring, Sr. and Chris Lairsey Ring; mother-in-love, Nell B. Cooper of Jesup and brothers and sisters-in-law, Michael and Cynthia Gressel, Gary and Sandra Drawdy and Sheldon and Jamie Nichols all of Brunswick. A host of nieces, nephews, cousins and extended family members also survive.

Funeral services will be held at 3:00 p.m. on Saturday, September 1, 2018 at Calvary Baptist Church with Reverends Vann Dempsey and Ryan Ogden officiating. The family will receive friends from 1:00 until 3:00 p.m. at the church.

Although David was an only child, he was blessed with cousins who were more like brothers throughout his life. These special cousins, Greg Sparks, Stan Sparks, Roy Thornton, Jr., Gladwin Harper, Kevin Fabre and Tommy Powell, will serve as active pallbearers.

Honorary pallbearers will be his nurses, Meisha, Jenny and Kim of DaVita Magnolia Oak Dialysis in Hinesville, Bobby Hughes, Jeff Ricketson and all his Nieces, Nephews and their spouses.

Interment will follow in Odum City Cemetery.

Remembrances may be made to the American Cancer Society, 6600 Abercorn St., Savannah, GA 31405 or Calvary Baptist Church, P.O. Box 9, Jesup, GA 31598.
