David Allen Grace

David Allen Grace, age 86 of Townley, passed away on Thursday, October 29, 2026 at his residence.

David was baptized on August 3, 1958 and was a lifetime member of Grace Chapel Church of the Nazarene. He served on the Grace Chapel Church Board of Trustees for over 30 years, Sunday School Superintendent, a choir member for many years and was also a member of the Grace Chapel Quartet. David proudly served in the Army National Guard and was the owner of Grace Insurance. He enjoyed the outdoors more than anything. He was a skilled softball pitcher, an avid hunter, fisherman and gardener. Most of the time you could find David in any of his 3 favorite places; in a tree, in a boat or in his garden. David had a passion for cars, from drag racing in his early days to restoring and showing antique cars later in life. He loved his family, his dogs and was a good friend to many.  Special thanks to the wonderful team at Access Hospice for taking such good care of my dad.
