David is preceded in death by his parents, Bobby and Carolyn Meadows, and his brother, Danny Meadows. He leaves behind his loving son Chris Meadows (Michelle), and his two cherished grandsons, Jake and Stetson Meadows.
Born and raised in Dothan, Alabama, David graduated from Dothan High School in 1978. He spent many years working alongside his father in the food brokerage business before dedicating the last decade of his life to managing hunting land in Banks and Blakely.
An avid outdoorsman with an unshakable zest for life, David found joy in nature and in sharing it with others, especially children. He was deeply involved in his community and passionate about conservation. He was a dedicated supporter of the National Wild Turkey Federation (NWTF) and proudly served as President of the Dothan Chapter of Whitetails Unlimited. Nothing brought him greater happiness than seeing a child’s face light up after catching a fish or harvesting their first deer.
Known for his integrity and servant’s heart, David never passed up a chance to help others. Whether raising money for children in need or handing out turkeys during the holidays, he lived a life marked by generosity and kindness. David has so many friends and family across the Tri state that love him. He often said he was the richest man in the world—and though he measured wealth not in dollars but in relationships, those who knew him would agree.
His legacy of love, service, and passion for the outdoors will continue to live on through his family and the many lives he touched. David only ever wished to be remembered as a good man—and without question, he was.
