He is survived by his father and mother, J.D. and Susan Kornegay; sisters, Jennifer Bell (Brian) and Jessie Kornegay; nephews, Baker and Barrett Bell; and numerous aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. Our David Boy carried an infectious smile, fun-loving personality, and witty sense of humor everywhere he went. The center of his life was his family. The love we shared can only be described as fierce. He had a thoughtful, selfless spirit and the kindest heart. Our lives are indescribably sweeter because of him.

In lieu of flowers, it would have been David's wish that donations be made in his memory to The Rise Center of Tuscaloosa. The University of Alabama, P.O. Box 870305 Tuscaloosa, AL 35487.
