David had a tender heart for animals, especially dogs, and was rarely without a pet. He was a brilliant builder and machinist; he could construct anything his mind imagined. As a child, he delighted in building Lego constructions, cardboard mazes for his hamsters, and outdoor forts in the woods. He also drew accurate maps based on bicycle rides all over Tattnall County, Ga. As an adult, David was a machinist and welder and worked for a number of businesses in southeast Georgia.
David was a lifelong member of First Baptist Church in Glennville, where he enjoyed Sunday School classes, Bible studies, and relationships with fellow believers.
David was preceded in death by his niece, Rebecca Link; nephew, Clay Oliver; brother, Paul Oliver; and parents, Clinton, and Mary Frances Oliver.
He is survived by sister-in-law, Lisa Oliver; sister, Fran (Paul) Doupé, brother, Bert (Jan) Oliver; sister, Julie (Steve) Link; brother, Hamp; sister, Mary Ruth (Chuck) Ray; and numerous cousins, nieces, and nephews.
