David Kilgore

David Lee Kilgore left this world suddenly on December 23, 2020 in the ICU of UAMS hospital in Little Rock at the age of 75.

David was born Aug. 4, 1945 to the late Willis and Violet Kilgore. He was a lifetime resident of Hot Springs and a 1963 graduate of Hot Springs High School. On January 19, 1979, David married his love, Virginia Ann Dodd, who preceded him in death on August 1, 2018.

David enjoyed family and friends and the beauty of God’s great outdoors. Walking with his dog “Happy,” was one of his great pleasures. David was a loving son, husband, friend, and stepfather. He was a member of Trinity Church, in Hot Springs. David believed in a sure and certain resurrection and that he would be reunited with his loved ones on that day. Romans 14:8 “For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's.”

David is survived by his three stepchildren, William Lee Dodd, and his wife, Natasha, of Hot Springs,  Lynn Einkauf of Katy, Texas, Vickie Ann Silvar, and her husband, Joseph, of Hot Springs, eight step  grandchildren, Matthew Dodd, Andrew Dodd, Casey Einkauf, Christian Silvar, Joshua Silvar, Isaiah  Silvar, Josiah Silvar, Sarah Silvar, and one great step grandchild, Vania Einkauf.

David will be missed by all whose lives he touched. Do not grieve but rejoice! He has not left us, he has only gone into the next room, where we also shall join him one day.

David’s family will honor his memory in a private service. Messages of condolence would be welcomed at: davidkilgorefamily@gmail.com.
