He was born January 3, 1937 in Shelbyville, Indiana to Herschel Parr Deming and Margaret Adair Thompson. Raised in Marion County, Indiana, the family later moved to Denver. David attended Colorado State University where he received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Elementary Education and worked many years as a school teacher. He also served as a signalman in the United States Navy from 1954 - 1962. David had many passions in his life, the first of which was his late wife, Linda Diana Deming, to whom he was married from April 16, 1977 until her passing in February of 2009. He enjoyed singing and playing his 12-string guitar, target practice with his sons, camping with family, and visiting Maui, Hawaii.

He married Carol Scott in November, 2009 and together they moved to St. George, Utah to escape the harsh Colorado winters.
