Services will be at 4 p.m. today, Nov. 17, 2001, at Sunset Memorial Chapel with the Rev. Johnny Thomason officiating. Masonic graveside rites will be conducted.

David was born July 14, 1931, to Lela Belle and John Riley Hisaw in Booneville, Miss. He moved to Osceola, Ark., when he was five years old and graduated from Osceola High School. He married Patty Anderson on May 4, 1952. They moved to Odessa in Aug. 1957.
David worked for Henderson-Parker Insurance Agency for 25 years until he opened his own Agency at 704 E. 7th St. David served in the Korean War. He was a member of Fellowship Lodge No. 1385, the El Paso Scottish Rite and El Maida Shrine. He worked in various degrees of Scottish Rite Association for several years. He was secretary of Odessa Scottish Rite Association for 21 years. He was a 33rd degree mason. He was a member of the Temple Baptist Church.
David is survived by his wife of 49 years, Patty Hisaw; their three children, Rebecca Jean Long and husband James David of Belton, David Hisaw Jr. and wife Deanna of Odessa and Bobby Hisaw and wife Genon of Odessa; nine grandchildren, David Hisaw III, Cyndi Schwertner and Marshall Hisaw of Miles, Robert Hisaw, Cody Hisaw, Crystal Hisaw and CaSandra of Odessa, Meagan Long and Dayton Long of Belton; a great-granddaughter, Stormi Schwertner of Miles; stepgrandchildren, Karen French of San Angelo and Amy French of Odessa; stepgreat-grandchildren, Mikaylee French and Jaydon Barker of Odessa; and a sister, Frances Seals of Odessa. Among David's closest friends were Tommy Murphy Jr., Allen Jenkins Sr. and Earl Husband.
God saw that he was getting tired, and a cure was not to be. So He put His arms around him and whispered, "Come with Me." With tearful eyes we watched him suffer and watched him fade away. Although we loved him dearly, we could not make him stay. His golden heart stopped beating, his hard working hands to rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best.
Memorials may be made in David's memory to the Texas Scottish Rite Children's Hospital in Dallas.
Services entrusted to Sunset Memorial Funeral Home.
