He was born November 20, 1932 in Sylvester, Texas, the son of Andy Thomas Rushin and Lillie Pearle Combs Rushin. He married Beatrice Marie Smith on September 1, 1951. He was married to the love of his life for 59 ½ years until her passing February 15, 2011. They worked hard to raise a family that adores and respects them. David was involved in FFA and basketball during his high school years before his graduation from Cumby High School. After graduating from business school in Tyler, Texas, he started his career at William Cameron Company in sales. After working hard and learning the business, he established Rushin Truss Company. He continued his passion for financial investments by trading his own stocks during retirement. The joy of his life, in addition to his family, was his farm.

He was a member of the Canton Lions Club.
