“Dave” Brummett Jr.

Moore Davidson "Dave" Brummett Jr. - dedicated minister, counselor, father, grandfather, great grandfather, brother, uncle, and friend– passed away Easter Sunday, April 9, 2023.

Dave was born to Dave & Aileen Brummett in Childress, Texas, on April 16, 1938.  He was a Childress Bobcat graduating from Childress High School in 1956. After graduating, he worked alongside his father at the Gulf Service Station for several years,until he was called to the ministry. He attended Phillips University in Enid, OK and earned his Bachelor of Divinity Degree in 1967, and his Master of Divinity in 1972.

He served in many churches across Oklahoma, Texas and Missouri over the next 40 years. After retirement, he moved to Wichita Falls to be closer to his daughters. He continued preaching in area churches through the Christian Church Disciples of Christ. In addition, he continued serving the Lord through Stephen Ministries, Common Ground Ministries, worked many Walk to Emmaus, Chaplain for the Sherriff's Office and the prison, and was always up for going on a mission trip. He developed many close relationships in his calling to serve. He was known for "helping people move forward," "had a heart like Jesus," "just a great man and friend," and "wonderful colleague and mentor."

From a young age to 82, he was an avid golfer. Passing on Easter Sunday, and while The Master's was taking place, was perfect for him. He has made a lot of close friends playing the sport, but playing with his son, Clayton, in Palm Springs was a dream come true.

Being a grandpa came naturally to him. He played many board games with them, especially Monopoly, and his famous saying was, "Come to Papaw." He attended many football, soccer,  basketball games, and tennis matches of the grandkids, and loved every minute being with family.   As the visits would come to an end, he would always whisper in their ear, "you are my favorite, but don't tell the others."

Dave is survived by his two daughters, Tina Miller (Jeff), Terri Martinez (Joe), a son, Clayton Brummett (JeLange), a sister, Mary Sanders (Glen), five grandchildren, Mehgan Rhine (Kevin), Blayne Berry (Amy), Malorie Castelli (Ryan), Makenze Billing (Brandon), Macie Short (Parker), Ashley Brummett, Blake Brummett, Emily Brummett, a nephew, David Sanders (Jaime) and ten great grandchildren Crew, Jude, Everett, Laken, Brooks, Olivia, Wells, Grayson, Caroline, and Kate.

Visitation will be at Grace Church, 5214 Stone Lake Dr., Wichita Falls, TX, on April 21, 2023 from 11 am – 1 pm. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Hospice Wichita Falls.
