David B. Homer

David B. Homer, 86, Greenville, Pymatuning Twp., went home to his Lord and Savior on Tuesday evening, December 2, 2025 surrounded by his family.

He was born on May 13, 1939, in Redding, CA., the son of the late Louis H. and Lena Odetta (Cooley) Homer. He had been employed by the former GATX in Masury, OH, and was a member of the United Steelworkers Union.  Following his retirement, he worked on the family farm and for Wood’s Dairy Farm, Transfer.

 In his younger years, he was a race car driver at the Sharon Speedway. He attended the Lakeside Evangelical Congregational Church, Transfer, and Bethel Life Worship Center, Greenville. He was an avid hunter and enjoyed fishing, valued the moments he shared with his family, and appreciated the friendship and camaraderie of his breakfast friends at the Paxton Restaurant, where he often frequented. David loved to tinker with tractors and trucks and gardening was one of his hobbies.
