David Gibbs, a lifelong truck driver passed away surrounded by the love and memories of a life well lived. David made his living on the open road, the road was more than a job to him it was a way of life. When he wasn’t behind the wheel of his truck, David found Joy riding his Harley-Davidson motorcycle embracing the freedom power and peace that came with every ride. That same love for the open road carried through everything he did. Above all else, David was a devoted family man. He loved his family deeply and worked tirelessly to provide for and protect them.
David’s journey may have reached its final destination but his spirit lives on in the hearts of his family friends and everyone else who’s life he touched.
