David died after sustaining injuries in a two-car accident near Hubbard. A pickup crossed the center line of the highway and struck David's SUV head-on. An article about David's death is posted on this website. You can read a longer version on the Corsicana Daily Sun's website. You also can visit First Baptist's website.
David was one of Texas Baptists' finest. He was an outstanding pastor, thoughtful and articulate denominational leader, and genuine friend to untold numbers of folks far and wide. He was kind and bright and compassionate. In large gatherings—such as denominational meetings—he was rather quiet and reserved. Yet he was one to whom others looked for wisdom and insight. He was the kind of person who made you feel calm and good when you were around him.
David and his wife, Lyndy, were the parents of two daughters and a son, the youngest a sophomore in high school. They were preparing to adopt two children, a sister and brother, from Taiwan later this year.
Please pray for Lyndy Edwards and her children, Emily, Kate and Evan, as well as the members of First Baptist Church in Corsicana, and the host of David's friends and loved ones, who are missing him tremendously.
