His legacy continues through his cherished great-grandchildren: Dylan, Carson, Lincoln, Ella, Ryker, Annastyn, Rhett, and Haidyn. He is also survived by his brothers, Ed Brogan (Becky) of Hurricane, and Ronnie Brogan (Judy) of Alum Creek.
David will be remembered for his quiet strength, his love for nature, and the deep pride he took in his family. Though his chair on the porch now sits empty, his memory will forever live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.
