It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of David Melvin Lindsey, who left us on January 8, 2026, at the age of 65. Born on September 16, 1960, in Springfield, Missouri, David was a true local who spent his life in the Willard area, making lasting memories and friendships along the way.

David was an easygoing man with a heart full of passion. He was an avid football fan, showing unwavering support for his beloved Kansas City Chiefs. His excitement for local sports did not stop there; he loved following the St. Louis Cardinals and the Kansas City Royals, celebrating every home run and touchdown with an infectious enthusiasm. David cherished the camaraderie of watching games with friends and family, often sharing laughs and stories that would last long after the final whistle blew.

An essential part of David’s life was his love for cars. He had an affinity for fast rides and local races, often reminiscing about his pride and joy, a classic 1973 Camaro. He had a knack for finding fun in every moment, whether it was at a racetrack or under the hood of a car, and he always welcomed others to join in on the adventure.

David is survived by his four brothers, Keith Hendrix, Steve Lindsey, Larry Lindsey, and Mackey Lindsey. Together, they forged unforgettable bonds and a legacy of brotherhood that will live on in their hearts.
