Family led Services for Charles David Hart, AKA Spanky, Toad, Won’t Do, 79, will be at 10am on September 6th at the Kent Hance Chapel on the TTU campus.  Rev. Bailey Barkley will officiate. The family request that everyone wear casual “David” attire.

David went to be with his beloved wife Nancy on August 27th after a sudden illness.  He was born on May 5,1945 in Parsons, KS to Charles and Grace Hart. From an early age he was an individual thinker, according to his mom, as he took off on his own at 2 years old to meet his dad at “kool” on the TAMU campus.  He grew up in Bryan, Texas, graduating from Bryan High School in 1963.  David attended Texas Tech University and was a member of the Delta Tau Delta fraternity where he met his lifelong friends and his future wife Nancy Stephens.  David and Nancy were married on May 5, 1967, in Abilene, TX.  They soon had 2 girls, Page and Linsey.  David had more careers than most people and was a true Entrepreneur.  His particular favorites were building homes and the ice business.  This love for change led the family all over Texas, continuing to develop friendships as they went.  David loved traveling, much of which revolved around his love of fishing and sports.  He was a unique person, known for his “Davidisms”, full of surprises and suggestions for all.  David loved his many friends and family deeply.

Those he loved include his 2 daughters, Page Heinrich and her husband, Tracy and Linsey Cheatham and her husband, Scott, all of Lubbock; his sister, Jane Van Guilder of College Station; his brother, Blaine Hart of Bryan; his grandchildren, Austin Heinrich and his wife, Jesse, Kasey Coor and her husband, Mason, Kinsey Heinrich, Ben Cheatham and Sarah Cheatham; and his great-grandchildren, Hallie Heinrich, Callen Coor, and one on the way.

In honor of his Rockport Baptist Friends, the family requests donations be made to the South Texas Children’s Home @ STCHm.org
