David was proud to have served as a medic in the U.S. Army.  David met and married Shirley Maddox in 1985. He and his family have lived in Inverness, Florida for over 23 years.  He was the owner and operator of home inspections company, Lytton & Associates, Inc. He loved gospel music and singing for Jesus.  He was a member of several gospel music groups that traveled across Florida and parts of the U.S. He loved the Lord and in addition to always being the music director, served his church in many ways.  David also lovingly served his family and community.  He made himself available to anyone who needed help, no matter the task.  He liked to tinker, kept himself busy and could fix about anything.  He was a Freemason, a Shriner, and a member of the Citrus County Realtor’s Association.  More than anything, he was a devoted Christian and loved the Lord, and all his family. David will be deeply missed by all who knew him and never forgotten by those that loved him.  In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in David’s name to the Shriner’s Hospital for Children, 12502 USF Pine Drive, Tampa, FL  33612,  Attn to Yvonne or by calling (813)972-2250 or website:  ShrinersHospital forChildren.org.
