David had 4 grandchildren: Michael, Brian, Ashley Payette, Beth Ballard, along with 16 great-grandchildren.

David Ballard will be remembered as a loving brother, father and friend interested in travel, cooking, old movies, playing cards and for his homemade Christmas hat contests. Throughout the years, David would use the postal service to deliver heartfelt letters and clipped newspaper articles on various subjects ranging from healthy relationship issues, saving for your future, a new recipe to try, or a clipped magazine column on what you can do with an unwanted Holiday fruitcake to family and friends. This was David’s unique way to let you know he loved you and was thinking about you.

David will be cremated and his ashes sent to Columbus, Indiana to the Garland Brook Cemetery to be with his mom. Rest in Peace
