Former longtime club member David Warman passed away Thursday November 14th, 2019. I met David years ago at training class in the park, he had just purchased a puppy and brought her down for classes. Soft spoken and kind, David loved his German Shepherds and for several years was involved with the club. Below is David’s Obituary.
David Brian Warman, 64, of Independence, MO passed away on November 14, 2019. David was born in Independence on June 6, 1955 to Howard and Della (Hovis) Warman.
He graduated from Van Horn High School and attended Central Missouri State University. He met the love of his life, Lisa Dudley, and they married in 1981. David worked as a broadcast engineer for 30+ years at Channel 9 news before retirement. In his free time, he loved taking photos, training dogs, and watching football. He enjoyed fishing as long as the fish were biting.
Most of all, he loved spending time with his family; whether it was taking a trip to the Ozarks or just going out for Fun House Pizza.
He is survived by his wife, Lisa Warman; children: Brian Warman (Jessica), Laura Warman, and Rachel Warman (Travis Hopkins Williams); sister Carol Cooper; and many nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.
He was dearly loved and will be sorely missed.
I know David was greeted by all his German Shepherds, Rest in Peace David.
