"Mr" David Michael Ballard

David Ballard

David was just 22 years of age, and a new father of his only child. His life was taken during the early morning hours the day after Christmas.   
My son’s smile was insatiable, he could have you laughing for hours on end, he had some pretty good dance moves as well. 


David was changing his life around to become a better person, a better son, brother, uncle, friend, but most of all he was learning to be a great father.  David met a lot of great people in his short-lived life and left and impact on all those who has encountered his sweet, spirited self. 
David’s friends always say how much of a cool kind and respectful person he is.  David would go out of his way to make sure friends and family are okay.   Never afraid to speak up for what was right and was a leader in his own way. 


David loved basketball and was a very handsome young man, as he was excited to become a father and graduate from the ROCA and EACH program to start his new life, his legacy and memories will forever be a part of our lives and very heart felt from all that knew him.  
David graduated from Central High School in 2018 he was able to travel a bit before his life was taken, David was born in Springfield and grew up in Springfield the majority of his life he is truly and deeply missed by all that loved him. 


David legacy his memories his warm spirt kind caring and the laughter of love holds near and dear and we all miss him tremendously; we know that he is watching over us all.  David is now our angel.
