Dexter D. David
Dexter D. David was born in New Iberia, Louisiana, and lived in New Orleans for eight years before settling in Rocky Mount, North Carolina, with his devoted wife, Allison Paige Brown David, and their beloved German Shepherd, Roxy.
Guided by his faith, Dexter seeks to follow God’s will in every aspect of his life, trusting in His purpose above all. As Proverbs 19:21 (CSB) reminds us: “Many plans are in a person’s heart, but the Lord’s decree will prevail.” He believes that his calling in the funeral profession is a way to compassionately serve others, providing care and comfort in times of need.
Dexter and Allie are deeply thankful for their Redeemer Church family in Rocky Mount, where they’ve found a strong community committed to making disciples. Being involved in the life of the church is one of Dexter’s greatest joys, and he is reminded of Psalm 133:1 (CSB): “How delightfully good when brothers live together in harmony!”
He earned a Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration from Arkansas State University and Southeastern Louisiana University before completing his diploma in Funeral Service Education from Fayetteville Technical Community College in 2015. Dexter views his work not just as a career but as a calling, echoing Colossians 3:23 (CSB): “Whatever you do, do it from the heart, as something done for the Lord and not for people.”
In his personal life, Dexter treasures time spent with Allie, Roxy, and his extended family. He enjoys watching football games and spending time at the beach, his favorite getaway. He remains thankful for God’s guidance in every step of his journey, trusting in the Lord’s plan and grace.
From the moment we contacted Wheeler and Woodlief Funeral Services, we were met with compassion, professionalism, and a level of care that brought us tremendous peace during a difficult time. Every detail was handled with grace and dignity, and their team ensured our loved one was honored in the most respectful way possible. Our pastor, who has officiated many services over the years, shared that this was the most kind, professional, and organized service he had ever been a part of—and we couldn't agree more. From the quiet support behind the scenes to the seamless coordination of every aspect of the ceremony, their attention to detail was unmatched. We are deeply grateful to the entire staff at Wheeler and Woodlief. They made a painful experience easier with their warmth, guidance, and dedication. Thank you for helping us celebrate a life well-lived with such honor and love.
