His family, especially his beloved wife Jennifer, their son Logan, and the extended family, are now left to cherish the memories and legacy that David created during his lifetime. As we celebrate his life, we are reminded of the lessons he imparted, the joy he brought to our lives, and the way he made the world a better place simply by being in it.
David C. Worton was a man whose kindness and compassion were the foundation of his character. His friends, family, and colleagues often spoke of his warm heart and the way he made everyone feel at ease. Whether he was spending time with loved ones, helping a neighbor, or offering support to someone in need, David was always there with a smile, a listening ear, and a heart full of love. His ability to connect with others was one of his most remarkable traits, and it’s no wonder that he had such a positive and lasting impact on those around him.
Born and raised in Indianapolis, Indiana, David’s roots ran deep in the community. He was proud of his hometown and always sought ways to contribute to its well-being. David’s love for Indianapolis was evident in his commitment to local initiatives, charity work, and his genuine desire to make the city a better place. He was always involved in helping others, whether it was through community outreach programs, offering his time to local events, or providing assistance to those less fortunate. David believed in the power of giving back, and his actions reflected this belief every day. His selflessness and commitment to others made him a cherished member of the community, and his absence will be felt deeply by all who knew him.
In addition to his community involvement, David was a dedicated and loving family man. His relationship with his wife, Jennifer, was one built on mutual love, respect, and unwavering support. They shared many years together, building a life filled with shared memories, love, and joy. Jennifer, who has always been David’s closest confidante, describes him as her rock—her constant source of strength, love, and encouragement. “David was my best friend, and he made every day brighter with his presence. We shared so many wonderful moments, and I will hold on to those memories forever,” she said. Their bond was a testament to the power of love and partnership, and it is clear that David’s family meant everything to him.
David was also a proud father to his son, Logan, who was the light of his life. He took great pride in being a father and was deeply involved in his son’s life, providing love, guidance, and support in everything Logan did. David’s relationship with Logan was one of the most important aspects of his life, and he spent countless hours teaching his son, attending events, and sharing life lessons. Logan’s eyes lit up when he talked about his dad, and it was clear that David’s influence and love would continue to guide him throughout his life. David’s love for Logan was unconditional, and he worked hard to be the kind of father who led by example, showing his son the importance of kindness, hard work, and treating others with respect.

His love and commitment to his family were unwavering, and his passing has left an indescribable emptiness in their hearts. They take comfort, however, in the fact that they had the privilege of sharing so many wonderful years with David and that his memory will live on through the love they shared.
