David had a love for his dogs and animals and would often rescue strays and give them a home.  He was the kind of person to give you the shirt off his back and never met a stranger.  His memory will forever live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved him.

David is survived by his parents, Darrel and Debbie Latiolais Savoy of St. Martinville; his paternal grandmother, Effie Molbert Savoy of St. Martinville; and numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.

He was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, William “Nick” and Margie “Toot” Latiolais, and paternal grandfather, Louis Savoy.

Pallbearers will be members of the family and friends.
