David Jolly

David Brinkley Jolly, 54, returned to his heavenly home on March 05, 2015 at St. David's Medical Center. His devotion to his family and his firm belief in God supported him in his struggle with various illness which ultimately gave him peace.

David was born to the late Jessie B. Jolly and Alma Rose Fryder, a Postal worker and a homemaker respectively, in Kansas City, MO on January 1, 1961. He was immersed in the Christian community that would be his lifelong support from an early age.

David was blessed with a one son, David J Smith who he fathered by Regena Smith and large and loving family when he married his best friend and love of his life, Barbara F Hutton, on July 09, 2014 in Austin, TX. David helped raise other children with patience, discipline and humility.

David was known by coworkers at AT&T and friends a "Gentle Giant" with a good heart. He was kind and soft-spoken, and always had time to answer a question or solve a problem, no matter how small. He is dearly missed by his loved ones, who celebrate the fact that he is at peace with his creator.

David is survived by his wife, Barbara Fay Hutton-Jolly; his son David J Smith, his stepchildren; Christopher, Derius, Alton, Jassmine, and Marquie. His stepson, the late Mr. Karl B. Hutton who proceeded him in death. Three brothers, Peter (wife Diane) Jolly of Kansas City, MO, brother Ronald E. George Drake, Richard Jolly who proceeded him in death. Four grandchildren, nephews, nieces and many many friends
