This is the story of David Turner. David was a wonderful man that was loved, is missed, and will always be cherished. He was an amazing son, brother, uncle, and husband.
David’s story starts on February 27, 1963, the fourth child to be gifted to John and Alma Turner. David was born in Duncan Oklahoma. A young and energetic child who would blossom into a persevering determined academically inclined human being. He completed his educational journey with a high school diploma from Duncan High, a Bachelor’s in business from Cameron University, and an MBA from The University of Dallas. David’s outgoing spirit and career allowed him to travel the world and the opportunity to live in the most beautiful of places to include Texas, New York, Maryland, and Oregon. David was blessed with the miracle of finding someone to love and having them love him back. He married the love of his life, Kirk Samson, in Dallas Texas on February 11, 1990. They would spend many years together before being separated by Kirk’s passing. Even after his loss David remained adventurous and continued to strive for success and happiness. After traveling and experiencing the world, he returned home to Oklahoma to start preparing for retirement. He acquired a little bit of land and small home and worked night and day perfecting it all. He cared for those that no one would care for, taking in stray abandoned animals and the occasional human. He leaves this earth too soon but he leaves it better than how he found it.
