William David Sanders, 88, of Keithville, Louisiana passed away Thursday, April 21, 2022 in Shreveport.

David was born in Milam, Texas on September 14, 1933 to Vilas D. Sanders and Edna Earl Sanders.  He came from a large family of six boys and three girls.  He lived most of his life in Shreveport, Louisiana.  He was an avid sportsman and gardener.  If you ever knew David, you know that he loved a good joke.  He loved to tell stories of growing up and his favorite thing to do was sit around the camp fire with family and friends.
