David P. Benfield

David Preston Benfield of Severn, MD, passed away at his home. He was 37 years old.

     Born in Baltimore, MD on September 6, 1988, David was the son of Tina Alder of Pasadena, MD and Cory Benfield of Severn, MD. He graduated from North Caroline High School in 2006.

     David was a member of Local Union 100 Washington, DC. He served a five year apprenticeship where he graduated into a journeyman. He had a larger-than-life personality and when he entered the room he would declare, “Hi, my name is David and I like to party!”. With his dynamic presence, he had a unique knack for connecting with anyone he met; his magnetic energy was undeniable, yet it wouldn’t overshadow the people around him. He had many friends, loved to work on cars, and enjoyed watching and participating in motorsports. 

      In addition to his parents, David is survived by his siblings, Mallory Benfield, Cody Benfield (Morgan Benfield), and Amber Benfield. He is also survived by two nieces, Madisyn Mack and Harlee Benfield; two nephews: Brayden Benfield, Carson Benfield and eleven cousins: Sophia Benfield, Jason Benfield, Ellis Benfield, Owen Benfield, Abraham Scrivner, Aberina Scrivner, Corrina Long, Garrett Conn, Jackson Conn, Nicole DeMatties, Ben DeMatties, and the late Abryana Scrivner.

     A memorial service will be held at 12 Noon on Saturday, September 12th, at the Moore Funeral Home, P.A. where friends may visit from 11 until 12 before the service. The interment is private.

      In lieu of flowers, please send memorial donations to Moore Funeral Home, P.A., 12 S. Second Street, Denton, MD 21629 to help with funeral expenses.
