David was a loving son, husband, father, brother, grandfather and great grandfather. He cherished every moment spent with his family, especially his grandchildren. David was a devoted husband to his wife, Betty, for thirty-one years. He loved the outdoors, fishing and hunting. David worked hard to make a good garden; always giving the vegetables away. He worked hard at Boise Cascade for ten years as a machinist, as well as a carpenter for his dad to help provide for his family. David will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.

Those left to cherish David's memory include his father, Ivy Eaves; wife, Betty Turner; two sons, Jeremy Chad Herbert and Daniel Turner and wife, Samantha; one daughter, Tiffany Renee Turner Dyson and husband, Lance; one brother, Jeff Eaves and wife, Karla; two sisters, Tanya Turner and Donna Coker and husband, Larry; twelve grandchildren with one on the way; and one great grandchild.

David is preceded in death by his parents, Jerry Turner and Linda Eaves; one sister, Melissa Ann Eaves; paternal grandparents, Ray and Agnes Turner; and maternal grandparents, Abner and Estelle Johnson.

The family would like to say a special thanks to St. Frances Cabrini Hospice Care, Oakdale Hospital and Ardoin/Allen Parish Funeral Home of Oakdale.
