Roy Kiser officiating. The family will receive friends one hour prior to the service. Mr. Stroud was born December 22, 1951, in Columbia, SC the elder son of Nondis M. and Norman E. Stroud. David moved to North Augusta in September of 1983 to begin what became a 38+ year career at Savannah River Site. He retired from SRS in 2021 as principal financial analyst for the Safeguards and Security business unit. David was involved in several interests outside of work. He collected stamps and coins and was a voracious reader. He was a member of the South Carolina Association of Knifemakers (SCAK) and specialized in hunting and fillet knives. It was in the teachings and rituals of Freemasonry that David came into his greatest interest. He was a member of Acacia Lodge #315 AFM in North Augusta and served a term as Worshipful Master. He also served a term as District Deputy Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of South Carolina. David was also a member of the Aiken York Rite and Scottish Rite bodies and served terms as senior officer in all of the appendant bodies of each. In 2017, David was awarded and received the 33rd Degree Inspector General Honorary of the Supreme Council of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite, SJ. In 1983, when David moved to North Augusta, he joined First Baptist Church of North Augusta. There, in 1985, he met the true love of his life, Donna Cannady, and they were married in 1987. Their union produced one child, William Layton Stroud, who was his father’s pride and joy. David was preceded in death by his parents. Survivors include his wife of 38 years, Donna; son, Will; numerous nieces, nephews, in-laws and friends. David wanted to note his appreciation of the expertise and care of Drs. William Thurmond, Mac Bowman, Jennifer Pederson and Tina Nordeen; and the support of the staffs of Daybreak Adult Care Services and Athletico Physical Therapy as he tried to fight the good fight against the effects of Parkinson’s Disease.
