David Howard was a model student and athlete at Clarksville High School. He worked hard on the field to become the best athlete he could be, and his dedication, work ethic and talent always helped him to rise above his challenges. David demonstrated these characteristics throughout his life, and it surprised no one when David reacted instantly to help someone in trouble – even though the act of heroism brought about his own death. David was nearby the chief of maintenance at the plant at which he was working when he ran into trouble. To save a worker from electrical shock, David pushed the man aside, paying the ultimate price by saving someone else. Through the Fund, an award will be given each fall to a senior on the Clarksville High School Football Team to assist with upcoming college tuition and fees.
