Born on November 15, 1955, in Beaufort, South Carolina, David was the son of Neil Clements and Ann Crisp Demaree. He was the second of four children and a graduate of Middleton High School, Wofford College, and the University of North Carolina School of Dentistry.

After completing dental school, David began his military service in the U.S. Navy Dental Corps, serving four years on active duty followed by twenty-one years in the Naval Reserves. He retired with the rank of Captain.

David went on to establish a successful dental practice in Marion, Virginia, where he served his community for thirty-one years. After closing his practice, he continued his professional journey working with the State of Virginia and Wytheville Community College. He later retired to Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, to reunite with the love of his life, who stood by and cared for him during his illness.

Committed to service, David was an active member of the Kiwanis Club and volunteered with Big Brothers Big Sisters. He was also a dedicated runner and golfer, proudly completing his first marathon at the age of sixty.

He was preceded in death by his father, Neil C. Demaree.

David is survived by his mother, Ann Demaree, his estranged wife, Martha Demaree; his daughters, Stephanie Demaree (Adam Fulmer), Melanie Maggy (Matthew Maggy), and Mackenzie Pragdat (Matt); and four beloved grandchildren Iris, Violet, Benjamin, and Clara. He is also survived by his siblings, Becky Scully (Frank), Jim Demaree (Susan), and Susan Hughes (Tony), along with many loving nieces and nephews.
