David Marion Pinnix

David Marion Pinnix, age 85, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, January 18, 2022 at Brookridge Retirement Homes in Winston-Salem, NC.  David was born on December 10, 1936 to JC and Ada Pinnix in Winston-Salem, NC.  He is preceded in death by his parents, brothers Carlton, and Ed and sisters, Virginia, Kathleen, and Harriet.

He met the love of his life, Barbara, in 1956 while horseback riding. He was her knight in shining armor!  He was a devoted husband, loving father, Army Veteran, and an avid gardener.  He found solace working with the earth and talking with God while doing so.  He loved the Lord and we find comfort in knowing that we will see him again.

He is survived by his wife of 64 years, Barbara Conrad Pinnix and his children David Carlton Pinnix (Tammy), Wendy Pinnix-Boyd, John Carr Pinnix (Janet) and his grandchildren whom he loved dearly Jodi Pinnix-Day (Brandon), Brooke Boyd, Nathan Pinnix (Jordan), Brianna Boyd, Caleb Pinnix (Pam), Joshua Pinnix, Aaron Pinnix, Sarah Pinnix, Hannah Pinnix, Rebekah Pinnix and Joel Pinnix along with 3 great grandchildren Ethan, Bailey and Peyton Day and his sister Jane White of Winston-Salem, NC.
