David Robert Alvord, 59, of Conyers, GA, passed away on August 2, 2020. David was a 1979 graduate of Solvay (NY) High School where he lettered in football and basketball. After time in the U.S. Air Force, he received a degree in Landscape Architecture from SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry at Syracuse University. David's biggest passion was restoring antique tractors, a result of summers spent on his uncle's dairy farm in Tully, NY. A member of the First United Methodist Church of Covington, GA, he was an active volunteer in the Food Ministry and a long-time officer for Cub Scout Pack 1824. David never met an item that couldn't be repaired, a person he wouldn't help or a stranger he wouldn't engage in conversation. Most of all, David will be remembered for his quirky wit and deep bond that he shared with his son, Spencer.
David was preceded in death by his mother, Joyce Cook Alvord. He is survived by his wife of 27 years, Pamela Joyce (Parsons) Alvord, and son, Spencer Fox Alvord, both of Conyers, as well as his father Robert George Alvord and his wife Nancy of Sebring, FL.
No services are scheduled at this time. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to Covington (GA) First United Methodist Church Food Pantry or Missions Committee.
