David Lee Sword, 78, of Crossville TN, had a tee time of life on March 13th of 2020. David left behind his loving family, friends, and the woman of his dreams, Rosetta.
There are so many amazing words and memories that can be said about him. The first thing that comes to mind is that he had a heart of gold, especially if you knew him, he would do anything he could for you! He was a hard worker who never quit doing, if he set his mind to it = consider it done. There are many hobbies that David had a passion for, including his love for old muscle cars and car shows. He was even a proud member of The Michigan Corvette Club. And the hobbies didn’t end with muscle cars, he enjoyed rounds and rounds of golf and even took the camper out to go camping every chance he could. David enjoyed a sweet tooth every now and again everything from strawberry milkshakes to doughnuts, but his favorite sweet, was his sweetie, Rosetta, for 50 years he could not turn down that sweet craving of his wonderful wife. They shared so many moments together through traveling, moving, and spending time with people they loved. These are the special moments that will keep everyone pushing forward and living a life that he would want us to live. We believe that everyone who knew him could easily say, “What a man, what a man, what a mighty good man.”
David Sword is survived by his sweet wife; Rosetta Sword, Sister; Mary Miller of Maryland, Brother; Douglas Sword of Detroit, Granddaughter; Ashley Sword Surma, Grandson; Kevin Sword of Michigan, and Step-daughter; Tammy Hill of Sparta TN.
He was preceded in passing by his, parents; Hal Vernon Sword and Mary Margaret Sword, and his son; Robert Sword.
A private memorial service will be held at a later date.
Dave was a wonderful neighbor and a God-send to our family. We love him dearly and will miss him on Stone Drive. So glad that our paths crossed for a short time. Our thoughts, prayers, and deepest sympathy to Rose and family.
