David Kersh

David Corley Kersh, 64, of Stone Mountain, GA passed away on Monday 11/23/2020 at Emory St. Josephs Hospital.

He was born October 30th, 1956, in Starkville, MS. On August 28th, 1976 he married the love of his life Gwendolyn Gay Kersh.

David was raised in Starkville and was a 1974 graduate of Brandon High School.

He was a blasting technician for Capital Explosives for 30 years in Conyers, GA. He then retired in 2019.

He was a loving Husband, Father, Grandfather and Brother. He loved watching Georgia Bulldog football on Saturdays and Nascar on Sundays. He will forever be remembered by his contagious smile. He never met a stranger in a room full of them. He was a hard worker and a wonderful family man. He will truly be missed.

Poem for Dad: As we look back overtime we find ourselves wondering…. Did we remember to thank you enough for all you have done for us? For all the times you were by our sides to help and support us…To celebrate our successes, To understand our problems and accept our defeats? Or for teaching us by your example, the value of hard work, good judgement, courage, and integrity? We wonder if we ever thanked you for the sacrifices you made. To let us have the very best? And for the simple things like laughter, smiles, and times we shared? If we have forgotten to show our gratitude enough for all the things you did, we’re thanking you now. And we are hoping you knew all along, how much you meant to us. We love you!
