David Wayne Coats

David Wayne Coats, 58, passed away, Tuesday, September 14, 2026 at home in Weatherford. He is at peace now, and pain free. He hated funerals and didn't want one. So we honor that. He wanted to be cremated and his ashes placed on his land that he loved.

David was born December 11, 1967 in Wichita Falls. He graduated from Springtown High School. Went on to college and became a Texas Master Naturalists specializing in organic and native grown plants. Later he settled in the Weatherford area next door to his mother where he has lived for 30 years.  David loved to work with his hands, whether it be with wood, leather or tinkering in his shop restoring old tools.

His father, Wayne Coats, his mother Sharon Little and step father, Ed Little all preceded him in death. He is survived by his sisters, Anna Marie Osborn and husband, Chad and Judy Lynn Tynyer and husband, Brian; nieces and nephews, Amanda Nix, David Nix, Rebecca Tyner, Kallie Tyner and Cameron Tyner; and his two faithful canine companions that he loved dearly, Onyx and Paxton.
