Charles David Hawkins' Obituary
Charles “David” Hawkins passed away on August 26, 2021, at the age of 64.
He is survived by the love of his life, Marcia Hawkins; his father, Charles Hawkins and wife, Frances; two daughters, Alisha Hawkins and Emily Hawkins; two sons, Clayton Goldsmith and Andrew Goldsmith; one grandson, Jack Goldsmith; as well as one sister, Rita Gibb.
David loved aviation, going to the gym, bike rides, aerospace, tortoises, and amateur radio almost as much as his wife and kids.
He always had the loudest laugh in the room...something both of his daughters inherited. He loved to watch old movies with Marcia, as well as “appropriate” flowers for her, and he always had the “best” fishing spot to take the boys.
He served in the United States Army as a Medic from 1976-1981.
In lieu of flowers, memorials in honor can be made out to EAA Aviation Foundation. Donate online: https://www.eaa.org/eaa/apps/donations/donationform
