Mr. David Ramsey
Mr. David Austin Ramsey, age 84, resident of De Queen, Arkansas, passed peacefully from this life on Wednesday, October 13, 2021, at home with family by his side.

David was born to the union on Orlen and Lyda Maybell Chandler Ramsey on June 19, 1937, in the West Line Community of Sevier County. He was a 1955 graduate of De Queen High School and faithfully served ten years with the United States Army. He married the love of his life, Katrina Rose Stephens, on November 8, 1958, in Horatio, Arkansas, and to this union, two children were born. Following his honorable discharge from the Army, David made his career with De Queen and Eastern - Texas, Oklahoma, and Eastern Railroad, retiring after thirty-one years of service. Even though he was retired, David was not finished working. He began working in security for Pilgrim's Pride in De Queen, once again retiring after several years of service. David enjoyed sitting on the back porch, working in his yard, listening to country music, going to the casino, and had unmatched storytelling abilities. More than anything, David cherished the time spent with Kaye, their children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Orlen and Lyda Ramsey, and his son, Branson Ramsey.

David leaves to cherish his loving memory, his loving wife of almost 63 years, Kaye Ramsey of De Queen; daughter and son-in-law, Rhonda and Noel Lovelace of Horatio; four grandchildren, Austin Ramsey, Tanner Ramsey, Tisha Martinez, and Kimber Frachiseur; ten great-grandchildren, Peyton, Carter, Cayden, Trevor, Everley, Attalee, Landon, Pace, Mila, and Madden; one brother, Arlen Ramsey of Fredericksburg, Texas; as well as other relatives, and a host of friends.
