David Eugene Jarvis, age 80, of Branson, Missouri, passed away on June 26, 2022. He entered this life on August 12, 1941, in South Gate, California, the son of Eugene and Doris (Miller) Jarvis. He has been preceded in death by his parents.

Proudly serving our country in the United States Army, David served as a military mechanic. He would later use those skills as a handyman for numerous artistic projects. A proud craftsman, David worked sixteen years at Silver Dollar City in the Gun and Knife Shop where he was known as a jolly and good-hearted person. He loved to joke and make people smile. David made friends with everyone he talked to. The love and laughs shared will never be forgotten.

David is survived by his sister, Marjorie (John) Bailey of North Tuscan, California; two nieces: Kathy (Steve) Mueller of North Tuscan, California and Marcella (Chris) Brabel of Irvine, California; as well as a host of friends that loved him dearly.
