He was born in Morgan City, LA to Carroll and Florence Beadle. After his mother remarried, David took the name Winters from his loving step- father, Jay. In 1974, he married his true love, Sheila Buford. Together, they had two sons, Daniel and Matthew. David was an electrician by trade, but could work on just about anything with a motor or engine. Anytime someone called for help, David was there. He also loved to fish, being in his boat made him feel free. It was a known fact that fishing with his sons was one of his greatest joys. David taught his sons to enjoy nature as much as he himself did. Most days David could be found tinkering around in his shed and hanging out with his grandson, Kaden. Patient, kind, loving, generous but firm, David was all of that and so much more. A unique and special individual, he will always be cherished and remembered. David is survived by his wife of 39 years, Sheila Buford Winters; his eldest son, Daniel and his wife, Shane, and their children, Braden, Mamie, Isabelle, Daniel Jr., Alicia, Elizabeth, Johnathan, Caroline, and Thomas David Winters; his youngest son, Matthew and his son, Kaden Winters; his mother, Florence Kober Winters; his two sisters, Cassie Swain and Elizabeth "Bubbles" Racca; a brother, Robert Jay Winters; a special niece, Amber Komoroski; a his step mother, Elizabeth Broussard Harris; and numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins.
