David was born on October 28, 1960 in Livonia, MI to the late Yale and Opal (McCullough) Cummings. He was a 1978 graduate of Livonia Franklin High School.

David was also a production supervisor at Thompson Door and CMI Architectural Products for over 20 years. He later became security and fire supervisor for Allied Barton.
David’s life was all about his son Drew. He loved coaching Drew’s baseball and soccer teams. David loved the kids and our “littles” like his own. He will be forever in our hearts and missed by so many.
