David Eugene Stover, 85, of Jonesborough, went home to be with the Lord on Sunday, March 2, 2025, at the Johnson City Medical Center.

David was a life-long member of Highland Church of Christ. He proudly served his country in the United States Air Force, serving in Georgia, Chicago, and England among many other locations. David graduated from Jonesborough High School and Stead Collee.
He met and fell in love with his wife Thelma Chandler while in high-school, they loved each other fiercely and were married sixty-six years. David grew up farming and lived most of his life on the farm his grandfather started. He worked for Eastman Chemical Company as an electrician for thirty-one and a half years. David loved and was a great photographer, he was the photographer for the Appalachian Fair for over twenty years. David could strike up a conversation with anyone and enjoyed getting to know people.
