David Leroy Pedigo and his family took great pride in his success as a local Home Builder and Residential Land Developer. His business acumen was honed at a very young age by collecting and selling worms to bait shops and fishermen. He possessed a seemingly endless amount of energy, drive, ambition and optimism that served him well. His great success in business allowed him the opportunity to travel the world and explore many cultures with his wife Marilyn and many of their close friends. He often stated, “ I am the luckiest man alive, I have done everything I ever dreamed of ten times over and while I was healthy enough to truly enjoy it!”
David’s last and most longed for goal has now been realized. He is at resting comfortably in the arms of his Lord and reunited with the love of his life, Marilyn.
