David Michael Booth, 57, gained his wings on Thursday, April 28, 2022 at his residence surrounded by his family. He was born October 22, 1964 to Andrew Jefferson Booth III and Mary Alice Hill Booth. David was an avid outdoorsman and was proud of his family and a proud former member of the North Carolina National Guard. He also loved hunting and fishing and attending all of his children's sporting events. Above all else he loved his wife of 33 years, children and grandchildren. David was a man who could fix anything, even a broken heart. He loved the days he was able to spend time with his family on the beach where he would surf-fish, and hunt for shark's teeth, and dig holes on the beach with his son. He was a selfless man and would do anything for anyone if he was able. He loved animals and all things nature. David was a jokester and played pranks on everyone.
