David Steele, a beloved husband, father & friend, passed away on September 26, 2023, at the age of 65. His life was a testament to unwavering kindness, enduring love, and boundless wisdom. Throughout his journey, David touched the hearts of those who had the privilege of knowing him. His dedication to his family was unmatched, and his legacy of love will continue to thrive through his children and grandchildren. A devoted family man, he was a source of strength and guidance to his children and a loving husband to his wife, Teresa Steele.
David found solace and joy in traveling, golfing, routing for his Wildcats! Go CATS! He shared these passions with everyone around him, leaving lasting memories of laughter and togetherness. His absence leaves a void that can never be filled, but his spirit will forever live on in our hearts and in the stories we share. As we remember David, let us also celebrate the beautiful life he lived and the love he generously gave to us all.
Mr. Steele is survived by his loving wife Teresa Steele; Daughter Ashely Steele; Sons Jason Steele & Clyde Mason; Daughter-in-law Jessica Steele; as well as his Grandchildren Madison Cook, Shade Steele & Colton Mason. David will be dearly missed and fondly remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing him. May he rest in eternal peace.
A memorial service will be held on Saturday, September 30th at Noon, and the family kindly requests that, in lieu of flowers, donations be made to St. Jude Children’s Hospital in his honor.

David left me with a word picture I’ve chuckled about many times. I was visiting he and Teresa when I observed my grandkids had lots of friends that hanged around their house. I commented on this to David. He responded,”Yes, and we have lots of sleepovers around here. Some times I come home at night and the living room is wall to wall sleeping bags, quilts and blankets. I just go around the room lifting the corners of the covers until I see my two are there and safe then I too can go to bed!” That’s David.

Mr David Steele was one of a kinda. Loved by a lot of people and will missed by more. Always was good times and big smiles when around him. Not a shy bone in his body. It’s easy to think of a time when he made you laugh, smile or when you looked forward to seeing him. Or when there was some awesome food to sit down and eat that was cooked by wonderful wife and Ms Teresa. You knew you were in great company around them. Miss you Mr David. God bless you Mr David, hope my dad can cook you the food I would tell you about in heaven. Eddie Cook always loved you like a father, I’m sure he knew that.
Heart goes out to his family.
