    You are family, and a dear friend. I’ll always remember your laughter, even after my corny jokes. You will be missed always. Keep a beer cold for me, I’ll see you later

    Uncle David I don’t know where to begin talking about all our great times together. I enjoyed your company sitting around the table playing card games, 10,000 dice game, all your stories and your good cooking ! So many holidays spent together. The letter you wrote to me on my 30 birthday meant so much that I will treasure forever. We love you and you will be deeply missed! Thank you for always caring and being there for Joshua all those years ago, I met the love of my life because of you! Until we meet again, see you later ❤

    My cousin David was a sweetheart and a lot of fun to be around! I loved his smile and his laugh. Every time I saw him he always wanted to know how I was doing and what was going on in my life. He really was a special guy.
    David….YOU WILL BE MISSED!

David Wayne Ervin, 58 born and raised in Evansville, passed away unexpectedly on November 27, 2019.
David was a veteran of the U.S. Navy and later worked in construction laying ceramic tile for many years. He also worked at Home Depot for a short time.

David had many talents, he loved to play his acoustic guitar, sing his favorite songs and dance. David was an excellent cook. His favorite thing to cook was Biscuits and Gravy, anything on the grill and homemade dressing. He was supposed to share his secret recipe for dressing on Thanksgiving Day at the shelter downtown where he volunteered.

David was an avid Indianapolis Colts fan and Peyton Manning was “the man”. He also enjoyed bass fishing in his spare time. The most important thing to David was his family. He was described as having that “special light” in his heart.

He leaves behind his children: John (Hayley) Ervin, Jesse (Andrea) Ervin, Daniel Braddam, Lindsey (Cory) Nally, and Lauren Duncan; siblings, Judy Braddam, Betty (Jimmy) Love, Kathy (Dennis) Hawkins, Diane (John) Hunley, and Steve Ervin.
