David Waggener, 74, Adair County, KY (1944-2019) The Barnes family has lost a generous citizen of the world who traveled the globe extensively in his spare time, sharing his life with family and friends. He has lived in Columbia the past 24 years to be closer to his sister, Barbara Barnes, and her husband, Charles. Per his wishes, the family has chosen to hold a graveside service at 11am Saturday, April 20, 2019. David Waggener, 74 of Columbia, KY, passed away peacefully on January 16, 2019 under the care of Lake Cumberland Hospice from cancer. His family members and his beloved dog, Pug, were at his side.

Raised in Orlando, FL, by all standards, David led a full and active life academically, personally and professionally.
