David Allen Ewing Sr

David Allen Ewing Sr. of Easton went home to be with his Lord and Savior on Monday, May 3rd, 2021 after a long, hard-fought battle against several health issues. He passed from this life to the next at home surrounded by family. Born November 13th, 1943 to Francis Adams and Marie Veronica (nee Tyler) Ewing, David was the youngest of ten children. He graduated from Easton High School and shortly after began his career in the automotive industry owning a salvage yard and Ewing Tire on Chapel Road in Easton retiring in his 60s. David was a hard-working man always looking for investments and creating multiple avenues of income. He owned a small farm in Caroline county, where he plowed several of his flip phones into the dirt, but he loved being on his old blue tractor and was proud of his vegetable garden often giving away the abundance of produce to family, friends and neighbors. He also began investing in rental properties in his twenties and was a landlord until the time of his passing. Throughout his life he was an avid outdoorsman. He loved collecting firearms, hunting and took trips to the Midwest and Canada in his younger years. He taught his children about firearms, how to shoot, and most importantly - to respect all forms of life as hunters. Fishing with his family was a favorite activity and he owned several boats over his lifetime including one custom built 46' Markley named Born Again he was especially proud of. David was a collector of Native American artifacts, including hundreds of arrowheads. He loved American history and read countless books about presidents and wars. If his TV wasn't on Fox news, it was on the History Channel (and the volume was loud because he wouldn't wear his hearing aids). His favorite book was his Bible. David is the father of four children - Connie, David Jr., Jan, and James. He was a stern father with countless rules, but he loved his children endlessly and was always there for them. He taught them to lean on their faith in God and always trust that the Lord will provide. He taught them to be giving and share their blessings with others. He taught them to work hard and to take pride in their work. David is also the granddad of four - David (Allen) Ewing III, Maddox Ewing, Rylee Ewing, and Natalee Mullins. He always had a soft spot for children - especially his grandkids always supplying the little ones with candy, chocolate, and ice pops. He was preceded in death by his parents, seven siblings, and his loyal Cavalier Spaniel Sophie. Along with his children and grandchildren, David is survived by a brother, Bernard Eugene Ewing, sisters, Madge Wooters and Suzanne Rada, his caretaker and companion Sue, and his Cavapom pup Ruby. Psalm 23:8 "Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever." A graveside service will be held on Saturday, May 8th at 11am at Oxford Cemetery, Oxford, MD. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to Talbot Hospice in David's memory.
