David was born November 29, 1955, in Madison, South Dakota, to Raymond and Lavonne Williams, and grew up on the family farm. He graduated from Madison High School. In the early 80's, while his oldest brother, Bob, was attending Baylor University, David made a trip to come visit him and decided to stay in Waco. He then attended TSTC where he learned computer programming. It was while working as a programmer for Waco Communications that he met his love, Carol. They married and eventually put down roots building their family home in Valley Mills and raising 2 sons. This past September, they celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary.
While working at Waco Communications, the owner opened a kite shop inside and David managed it, as well, and became a kite enthusiast; attending many local kite festivals and events. Because of his knowledge of computers, people would bring their computers to him for repairs. After he left Waco Communications, he worked for Valley Mills ISD as Tech Coordinator for 10 years. He then worked for Esquire Fire and Safety until January 2019. David also served as a Boy Scout Master in Valley Mills for several years. On weekends, he enjoyed watching tv and some football games with their dog, Pepper, in his lap. He enjoyed traveling with his wife to Colorado, New Mexico and trips back to South Dakota to visit family.
