David was a big talker, a joke teller, and a partner in crime to more than a few who refuse to give up their tales. He loved Mexican food, and his family thought he was sometimes clever. David loved to travel, which was good because he did a lot of it. His favorite spots were Vero Beach, Florida, Cades Cove in Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and Jackson Hole, Wyoming. He loved fishing anywhere he could find a body of water and fishing tackle.
Winner of the Most Pleasing Smile of the White County High School graduating class of 1966, David is survived by his wife of 52 years, Barbara, and their children and grandchildren: Stephen and Karla Jacobs with Abby and Daniel; and Kyle and Betsy Cantrell with Jane. His siblings include Buford and Jeanie Kinsey, Roger and Loretta Slaton, Jack and Carol Westmoreland, Eva Cantrell, Wilma Dorsey, Ron and Helen Cantrell and his sisters-in-law Fran Gillespie and Betty Cochran. He was preceded in death by his parents, Fred and Claudine Cantrell. He will be missed by his gym buddies Howie Raby and Vance Vermilya, his breakfast buddies from the Liars’ Table, and his trusty sidekick, Buddy Bear.
