 David Carl Strother David Carl Strother, 52, made his heavenly journey to be with our Lord and Savior on Monday, November 29, 2021. David sported many titles throughout his life: Son, Friend, Husband, Father, Brother-in-law, Star Athlete, Class Clown, Elvis lover… but the titles he wore the most proudly were Son, Husband and Dad. Anyone who knew David knew that he was the most loving son, husband and father a family could ask for. His love for his mom, wife and his boys was undeniable. It is hard to imagine a world without David in it. The sun just doesn’t seem as bright since the Lord called him home. He made many friends during his time here on earth. He was the kind of person who drew people in with his childlike spirit and love for life, but more so, he was the kind of person who sought people out. David was so intentional with the ones he loved and made it a point to make all those he encountered feel so important and special. He would reach out just to let you know that he was thinking about you, or that he was grateful for you, or just share a treasured memory with you. He was a friend you could always count on. David will be remembered for his love and laughter, his acceptance of everyone, refusal to dismiss anyone, and for his exceptionally hilarious and cheesy posts on Facebook. He was our very own Chris Farley. We can only hope the breaking of our hearts now is testament enough to the love we feel for you. How blessed are we to have had someone that makes saying goodbye so hard. He is survived by his loving wife, Sheryl; sons, Jackson and Jensen; beloved & irreplaceable "Sonny" to mother, Rosie; aunt, Gabriele Parham (Leon); sisters-in-law, Kerri Wiese (Dave) and Terri Richardson (Vince); brother-in-law, Kevin Ulrich (Barbara) and a multitude of cousins, nieces and nephews, and friends all over the world. A Celebration of Life will take place on Saturday, December 18, 2021 at 10am at Edge Park United Methodist Church, 5616 Crowley Rd. Fort Worth, Tx 76134, with Pastor Joe Chamness officiating.  David, Sheryl, Jensen & Jackson Strother

David (Dave, Stro) was such a blessing. Such a dear friend to all of us. Our hearts and minds are still reeling that he is no longer here with us. But I have to keep telling myself, as I look at the sun, he’s shining down on us, reminding me....he’s in a better place. Sheryl, Rosie, Stro Bros...all family & friends ...you’re in our thoughts and prayers....all my love, Cricket (as Dave still called me)

There are not enough words to express the sadness and loss that everyone feels at this time, especially his family. But David was so warm and loving that he made ALL of us feel like family. He is dearly missed and there is a huge void in so many lives. Days are not the same without his FB humor. Strother family, please know you are in our thoughts and prayers at this time. There is so much love out here for David, and the family he leaves behind. God’s blessings to all.

David my man, you might just put Facebook out of business. I always looked forward to your daily joke or quote to put a smile on my face. I know an entire community is less inclined to open that app now that you have posted for the last time. Social media makes it so easy to stay in touch and forget about the importance of shaking hands or wrapping up a BIG hug! Sorry we hadn’t done that in a long time. Never met anyone quite like you buddy and I certainly will miss you! Godspeed Big Daddy.....

David was such a wonderful great funny guy! I just met him last year and it seemed like I knew him for a lifetime! His boys go to school with my son and we used to always talk bout our boys being young men,and how much we love our boys! He was always always there for me when I needed to talk to someone,always made me laugh with all his jokes he used to send me. David you sure are gonna be missed.Sheryl,Jenson and Jackson yall are always going to be in my prayers and thoughts.

David Was a great father, husband , son and was a friend to many people in his lifetime. He always would send a message whether you were having a good or bad day or to just check -in. I know we are all truly going to miss him and his infectious humor and joking around and talking about his sons or wife . To his family I send prayers and healing as you say goodbye for now. We will all one day be laughing and together with our loved ones in the house of the lord . “Stro “ til we meet up again friend and brother.

I never had the privilege to meet your son Rosie or his family! But, the precious words in his obituary and all the kind loving things people are saying let’s me know he was a great son! May God comfort you and his family to understanding. During this time of your disbelief, a heavy heart and pain I’ve ask God to stay by your side until your pain eases. Just know not a day goes by that I’m not praying or thinking of you and his family. I love you and truly appreciate and respect you as my cousin. David got it honest, he has a kind and sweet loving person for a mother too. I care and I’m here if you need me!

David and I have been friends since high school, we went to many pit parties at Benbrook lake, doing what teenagers do. I remember one time we were in someone's car and I had one to many wine coolers and needed to throw up. I will never forget what he told me, he told me to hang my head out of the car and to imagine that I can see and smell a hot mayonnaise pizza with cigarette butts on it. Well, it worked, I threw up and then we all laughed at the situation because he actually got me to do it! Over the years we lost touch until Facebook came along and we reconnected, I believe it was about the time Sheryl was pregnant with the boys. I loved how proud he was of those boys, how much he loved his family and loved showing them off. I suffer from major depressive disorder and I always knew I could count on David's posts, usually of the boys, to cheer me up. I even DM'd him and told him how watching his boys getting bigger was awesome and that they brought me joy. He promised to never stop posting pictures of them for me. My father passed away last year and it wasn't on good terms between us (my dad andI), I didn't want to explain to everyone in fb land what I was going through, nor did I want to relive any memories of my father so I deleted the entire account, but, kept the Instagram account. Just recently I opened a new fb account and didn't have everyone I wanted on it yet, including David. The last time we spoke was on a picture he had posted on Instagram of the boys getting ready for a school dance, I couldn't believe how big they are and mentioned it to him. That was the last time we spoke. I was told by a fellow classmate, Matt Henry, that David had passed away Monday night. I didn't believe him, there's no way such an amazing guy would die so young, I still can't believe it. I was looking forward to sharing my first grandchild with him, who was born the day after David died. I was holding my grandson when I found out and I couldn't stop crying. David, you were and are so very loved by so many people and will be forever missed!! You touched so many of us in so many ways that it's going to take a while to accept you really are gone. It was my pleasure to have known you and an honor being your friend! Much love to your family, especially those amazing boys and Sheryl. There will never be another like you! You were so amazing!!❤💔

I did not know David but I do know Sheryl because she was friends with my sons during their college days. The obituary for this man said everything that fits the kind of man Sheryl would marry and want to have a family with. I looked at some of their family pictures and I can see the love for his wife and sons radiating from his smile . The description about him in the obituary also let us know he was a man that also loved his Jesus so while we a saddened at his loss there is a great celebration in Heaven because he is home. Sheryl, I am so sorry for your loss…💔

Rosie, Sheryl, Jackson& Jensen our deepest condolences on the loss of David. There are no words to express how we feel at his loss. I have so many funny memories of David and have watched him grow from a young kid into the loving son, husband and father he became. I pray that in time you will find peace. You remain in our thoughts and prayers. 🙏❤️

I knew David from elementary school and middle school, and I am deeply saddened to hear of his passing. He was one of the most supportive people I had on the sidelines cheering me on. He'd sometimes send me a message, just checking on how I was doing. I know how much he loved his family -- he seemed to want to spread that joy all around. RIP friend.

Your passing took me so off guard since we were conversing just days previously, it knocked me too my knees requiring serious cognitive time staring at the ceiling to come too grips with reality…

To Sheryl,The Stro Boys, David’s mother and the entire family: my sincerest condolences on the loss of David. He was such a good guy with a wonderful sense of humor. And, used his presence online to entertain us all with his amazing wit and incredible sarcasm. He also brought so many different people together and was so close himself to such a large, and diverse group of friends. David was such a special and unique person whom will be sorely missed. 🙏🏾

What Darryl Moree said a few comments above is what had hit me for a duration after David passed, he was the benchmark at Western Hills high school and beyond for his humor, is understanding and his wonderful friendship, he was so alive it was captivating, his words, his ideas and his contributions to humor were/are earth shattering and of course his wife and 2 boys were his everything as he stayed to the laurels of who he was more consistently than perhaps anyone I've ever known, I see that I'm commenting 2 years after he suddenly passed because I want to acknowledge David's legacy and friendship far after the fact for his staying power is as strong as anyone we've lost so I'm here to say it still hurts David has passed, nobody as great in everything like David and I'll forever be a much better person for knowing him as I'll do my part in honoring him!
