David Wayne Addison, age 52, passed away peacefully in his home on December 5, 2013 in Kingwood, TX. He was born February 12, 1961 in Longview, TX to George and Ruthie Addison. David graduated from Westbury Sr. High School in 1980. After graduation he attended Houston Community College.

David loved singing as a tenor in the Adult Choir and enjoyed serving as a Children’s Sunday School Director. He also was a Stephen Minister. For the past 13 years, he would use his vacation time to go with the students to Summer Youth Camp and Mission Trips. This had become the highlight of his year. David had gone many places on mission trips to deliver the message of Christ. He lived his life as a fully devoted follower of Christ, being on mission daily.
Above all that David did, he was most known to be a loving and caring husband to his wife of 31 years, Teresa M. Myers Addison, and father to his daughter, Lauren.
