David Wampler

David Wampler of Springfield, MO went home to be with his Lord peacefully in his sleep on April 30, 2021 at the age of 82 years, 2 months and 22 days. He was born on February 08, 1939 to Harold and Mabel (Collier) Wampler in Clever, MO. David was the youngest of six children in the home. He graduated from Clever High School. On December 31, 1958 David married the love of his life, Carolyn Chastain. This union was blessed with two daughters, Lisa and Cheryl. David worked as a salesman for Anderson Parks for 33 years, and later retired. David and Carolyn loved to go RVing in their Airstream Camper. They traveled all over the United States together. He was a longtime member of Second Baptist Church in Springfield. David was also a very talented woodworker. If Carolyn showed him a picture of a piece of furniture she wanted, David would make it for her perfectly, and then he would have to make two more, one for Lisa and one for Cheryl.
