David Emmett Wetherington, July 4, 1960, Anchorage, Alaska. That’s how David always answered when asked his name and birthday. David was proud to be born in Alaska. The family is saddened to announce that David passed away Sunday, March 1, 2026. He is finally out of pain. 

David loved his small, quiet town of Bunnell, Florida and we pray he is in a quiet place now with mama, Mary Frances Wetherington and brother, George Wetherington. 

David is survived by his daughter, Janie Ware, and three granddaughters that he was very proud of: Anna, Courtney, and Emma. He is also survived by brothers Jack Wetherington, Russell Wetherington, Clifford Wetherington, Wayne Wetherington, Gerald Hosford, and sisters Patricia West, Kathy Mueller, Mona Dodgen, and Joy Wetherington. 

There will be a gathering for friends and family in remembrance of David announced at a later date.
