David Lucian Sorrell, age 72, of Fayetteville, WV finished his race and went to be with Jesus in the early morning hours of April 16, 2024, at Bower’s Hospice House of Beckley, WV. He was born on December 6, 1951, in Clifty, WV to Robert Lee and Maxine Eloise Carte Sorrell.
David was an insurance agent for Hindson Nationwide Insurance agency. He was a devout member of Fayetteville Christ Fellowship for over 40 years and was Chairman of the Board of Trustees. For over 20 years, he walked the streets of Fayetteville daily praying for the city and people of the community whom he adored.
He was a loving husband and father and an amazing lover of dogs; most recently Destarte Sioux. He enjoyed golf, music, bicycling, hunting, fishing, and shooting.
He immensely enjoyed coaching his awesome Cowgirls basketball team with his beloved lifelong friend, KB Hambrick, and best cohort in shenanigans.
He was funny, silly, goofy, tender, compassionate, and full of life and love. David always had a smile and an encouraging word. He was a light, inspiration, and a blessing to all who knew him. He was loved and had a rare capacity to show love. Above all, he loved and served his lord and savior, Jesus Christ.
