David was born Feb. 7, 1953 in Bethany, the son of James Charlie Sharp and Dorothy Lee Crain Sharp Campbell.
David grew up on a farm northeast of Martinsville. He delighted in telling his family about his childhood on the farm. He graduated from Martinsville High School. After high school, he worked in a gas station and then became a dozer operator.
During this time, he met the love of his life, Leola Marcene Parkhurst and they were married on Sept. 9, 1972.
David worked for a farmer in Iowa and then they moved to the Bethany area. He worked for Buzzard Gulch and opened up two different shops, the last of which brought them to Trenton in 1981. He eventually bought BG Muffler. David continued to work for farmers during planting and harvest seasons. He also worked for Trenton Sand Plant and Premium Standard Farms.
David and Marcene were blessed with six children: James Christopher, Regena Marcene Sharp Renshaw, Robert Lee, John Ryan, Jason Paul, and an adopted son, Michael Wayne Kidd.
Over the years, David enjoyed hunting, trapping, fishing, woodworking, cards and IOOF. His heart’s desire was God, his family and farming. In his later years, his passion was his Lord and his desire to share his Lord with any and everyone.
David joined in glory his parents, Charlie and Dorothy; his mother-in-law, Neva Parkhurst; a brother-in-law, Lloyd Agee; and his maternal and paternal grandparents.
