William David McClendon was born On December 10th 1955 in Tampa, Fl. He moved to Scottsboro, Alabama 13 years ago. He died at home on October, 16th 2020, surrounded by his family. David was a welder from the age of 17 until he earned his fitter title. He was a loving father and husband who worked hard, sometimes two jobs, to give his family a good life. He had a dry but funny sense of humor, He could kid you with a straight face. He was a good and lifelong friend to many. He was always busy doing something, it was rare for him to take “down time” for himself. He worked as a boilermaker until 2007 until he retired. David was fond of working on small engines, gardening, westerns, and spending time with his children and grandchildren. He is survived by his wife of 38 years, JoEllen, daughters Melissa McClendon, Stephanie (John) McFarland, Michelle (Tim) Cody. Grandchildren, Christopher, Brooke, Brandon and Damien.
