David is 50 years old and grew up raising cows, hogs and guineas on 5 acres in the Shannon/Pleasant Valley area that is the residential part of Hoover, Alabama that we know today as Bluff Park. Tragedy struck David at a young age when he witness his father’s murder and stayed with him as he died in the street. As a result he had to begin working to help support his family at the age of 12. As an adult David worked for many years at Bristol Steel in Bessemer, and now works at construction jobs when they are available. He has been homeless for the past 7-1/2 years and lives in a camp located under the Red Mountain Expressway. He stays there with his friend Mike and his cat “Mr. Night.” His life is “tattooed with memories” of loss and pain that he hopes to overcome.
David suffers from alcohol addiction and high blood pressure. He asks you to pray for his health, his friend Mike who has COPD, his friend Gator who lives nearby and all his other friends on the street. He says, “Knowing people are out there praying for us will help me keep my spirits up.”
