David Clark Eidson was born on November 19th, 1955, in Oklahoma City. David passed away in
the early hours of November 4th, 2021, at his home after a courageous battle with cancer. At his
side, as she has been for 46 years, was his wife Sherry.
After graduating from Choctaw High School, David and Sherry were married in Nicoma Park on
October 24th, 1975. They then made their home in Ada where he worked for 40 years for
CenterPoint Energy. With his cheerful attitude and bright smile, David was the biggest fan and
encouragement for his sons, Matthew and Derick. His battle with cancer in recent months
showed his courage in facing life challenges with a smile.
Those who are left here to celebrate his life, share amazing memories, and live in his legacy
are his wife, Sherry; two sons Matthew, his wife Misty; and Derick, and his wife Kelsy; his
five cherished and very spoiled grandchildren: Tucker, Addeline, Deacon, Cannon, and
Taylor. David is also survived by his parents, Dwight and Sherry Eidson; his sister Jenice
Carson, her husband Ron; and his brother Michael, and his wife Candy. He also leaves
behind nieces and nephews Justin Carson, Stacey Bickerstaff, Brandon Eidson, Brian
Eidson, and Levi Eidson along with many great-nieces and nephews. David will be missed
by special friends Dennis and Mary Story and Kathie Moreland, and her sons Brandon and
Wes.
Waiting for David when he entered into the arms of His savior were his grandparents, Felix
and Gladys Eidson and Ray and Lucille Turner; father- and mother-in-law, Robert and Mary
Cannon; and his brother-in-law, Richard Cannon.
The family will celebrate his life on Monday, November 8th at 10:00 A.M. at Oak Avenue
