He had 3 brothers and 1 sister: Art, Allen , Tom, and Sandra. David grew up farming all kinds of crops and continued the traditions that his family and extended family had come to know as what life was. Once he moved to Richmond, he cultivated his fabrication ideas and focused his attention on cattle ranching. Cattle, that's what was important to him. He didn't experience things as we do today, taking joy in hunting, fishing, or traveling. He did what he loved: cattle and accumulating lots of hay for these cattle.
