David Craig Skinner, 52, of West, went to be with the Lord early Friday afternoon, June 8, 2007, at Providence Health Center in Waco. The family will receive visitors from 5 to 7 p.m. Sunday at the funeral home. Graveside services will be 10:30 a.m. Monday at Calvary Cemetery in Marlin, with the Rev. Ann Hitt officiating.

David was born on April 29, 1955, in Laredo, the first of three sons born to Jim and Peggy (Hawkins) Skinner. David attended school in DeSoto and was a 1974 graduate of DeSoto High School. He then went on to attend Texas State Technical College in Waco where he received an Associate's Degree in Industrial Maintenance. David then worked as a plant operator for Crown Petroleum in Pasadena for over 10 years. He was very outgoing, always into something, had a very contagious laugh and never met a stranger. He enjoyed fishing, hunting and camping, especially with his family. He will be truly missed and the void in his family's life will never be filled.

Survivors include his parents, Jim and Peggy Skinner, of West; brothers, Bill Skinner, of Los Angeles, Calif., and Andy Skinner and his wife, Kris, of China Spring; a nephew and niece, Clayton James and Elizabeth Carolyn Skinner; and many aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.
