Mr. Hamrick was born in Hampton, Va., on Oct. 26, 1958, and was the son of Grace Hamrick Croswell and the late Robert G. Hamrick.

 

He is survived by two sons, Mitchell Hamrick and wife Brittany of Elizabeth City, N.C., and Collyn Ransom of Michigan, and a daughter, Tiffany Hamrick of Elizabeth City, N.C.

David was preceded in death by his brother, Gene Hamrick, and sister, Martha Patterson.

 

David was employed at Edenton Motors for the last seven years, where he proudly worked on cars as a certified Daimler Chrysler Mechanic. He took great pride in his work and loved taking care of his customers.

 

He was an avid fisherman, who like most, had many stories to tell! And when the weather was right he loved riding his Harley-Davidson motorcycle.
