Obituary: David William Hunsucker
David William Hunsucker, lovingly known as a devoted husband, father, brother, and friend, bid farewell to this world on Wednesday, June 5, 2024. He was born on February 28, 1964, in Bolivar, Tennessee. David’s journey was one of dedication and passion that touched the lives of many around him.
Known as a hard worker, David carved a path for himself as the owner and operator of Chem Equip since 1999. Prior to this venture, he dedicated several years of hard work at Wilson Well. He was a member of Rocky Springs Baptist church and former song leader.
David’s impact stretched far beyond the workplace. He had an infectious personality that lit up the room wherever he went. David found solace and joy in simple pleasures like driving his tractor and bush hogging. His love for family knew no bounds; he cherished moments spent with his wife and best friend, Lisa Kay Hunsucker of Middleton; daughters, Priscilla Hunsucker and her special friend, Anabell Gonzalez of Coldwater, Mississippi, Sabrina Williams and JoJo Posadas of Corinth, Mississippi, Laura Jones and Brad of Walnut, Mississippi; and grandchildren, Alanna, Lynlee, Addley, and Liam Jones, Jayden Williams and Daniel Salas, whom he loved watching play in the front yard while he was sitting and talking in his front porch swing. He not only worked hard, but he loved hard also, loving his Lord above all else.
Services are at Shackelford Funeral Directors chapel on Sunday, June 9, 2024, at 3 p.m. in Bolivar with the burial in West Memorial Cemetery.
Among those who have gone before him are his parents, Thomas William Hunsucker and Bonnie Jewell White Hunsucker. Leaving behind cherished memories are surviving family members a brother Phillip Hunsucker and Jane Anne of Somerville, brother and sister in laws, Glen Burnette (Tammy), Mark Burnette (Carol), Paul, Sandy and Misty Burnette; a host of other nieces and nephews; his ‘sister from “another mister’, Patty Bryant; and his mother-in-law, Margie Burnette of Saulsbury. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by brothers-in-law, Neal Burnette, Larry Burnette, Ronnie Burnette, and Ken Burnette.
David’s love for life extended to his nieces and nephews but held a special place in his heart for Wade and Carly, who stayed with them almost every weekend when they were growing up – treating them as his own. His love for music was palpable and he enjoyed singing Southern gospel tunes and had a voice likened to legends like Ricky Van Shelton, Conway Twitty, and Kenny Hinson. In quieter moments on the porch swing or amidst laughter while playing cornhole in the front yard with loved ones, David’s spirit shone bright.
