Born on July 30, 1977, in Morehead City, North Carolina, David was the beloved son of Rev. David and Pamela Harper.

He especially loved singing gospel music and had a true gift of encouragement, often blessing others with his uplifting and heartfelt words.

David loved his family more than anything and worked hard to provide for their needs. He cherished time spent playing with his children and was known for his athletic nature. He enjoyed basketball, boxing, and weightlifting, activities that reflected both his energy and discipline.

David will be remembered for his faith, his devotion to his family, and the kindness and encouragement he freely gave to others.
