David's education began at Adair County High School, where he distinguished himself as a proud member of the marching band. He furthered his education at Western Kentucky University, carrying forward his passion for music and community involvement. As a gifted musician, David was the drummer for the band Blackstone Ash, sharing his talents with his community. A dedicated HAM Radio Operator, David nurtured this hobby with enthusiasm, connecting with others and exploring the realms of communication technology. His faith was an integral part of his life; he was a devoted member of the Judson Baptist Church, where he generously contributed his time to assist with the youth group, fostering growth and guidance for younger generations. David's greatest pride stemmed from his family and close friendships. He treasured the times spent with his loved ones, especially his nieces and great nieces and nephews. He is survived by his brother Greg Murrell and his wife Laura Beth of Columbia, KY; nieces Emily Cross (Abe) of Columbia, KY, Olivia Sanders (Tyler) of Bowling Green, KY, and Anna Buckman (Thomas) of Columbia, KY; as well as great nieces and nephews Deacon, Delaney and Warner Cross, Caroline and Charlotte Sanders, and Everette Anne Buckman. Additionally, David is remembered fondly by several aunts, uncles, cousins, friends, and other relatives who are mourning his loss. He was preceded in death by his beloved parents, Tommie Bascom and Barbara Jean Bennett Murrell, and his great niece, Drew Elizabeth Cross. David's legacy of kindness, musical passion, patriotism, and devotion to his family will continue to inspire all who knew him. Pallbearers will be Ed Baise, Stephen Keen, Scott Bennett, Chris Downs, Brent Sapp and Ty Bennett. Honorary pallbearers will be his Judson Church family and his numerous friends in Tennessee and Kentucky. David Allen Murrell's memory will endure in the hearts of his family, friends, and all whose lives he touched. He will be remembered as a man of commitment, and unyielding love for those around him. May his soul rest in peace. Stotts-Phelps-McQueary Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements. Online condolences at stottsphelpsmcquearyfh.com. This story was posted on 2026-04-15 20:41:15
