David Wayne Vice, 54, Gladstone, MO passed away May 18, 2023. Beloved husband of Jennifer (Rodman)Vice and dedicated father to Emily and Andrew Vice. David died after a long battle with kidney cancer. He was born in Morgan City, Louisiana to Ken and Janelle (Broussard) Vice, he was the third of seven children. He stood out with his quick wit, jovial personality and his dedication to hard work. When he was 10 the family moved to Lafayette, Louisiana. David loved learning about the bible and in June 1985 at the age of 16, he dedicated his life to Jehovah God. After graduating Northside High School, he was involved in full time ministry work teaching others about the Bible. Later, David was invited to Brooklyn, New York to volunteer at the World Headquarters of Jehovah's Witnesses. He worked in maintenance and cleaning and was known for making the work day go by faster with his ability to keep everyone laughing. After volunteering for two years he moved to Kansas City, MO where he met his wife, Jennifer. They were married on October 8, 1994. They had two kids Emily Vice and Andrew Vice. David loved being a husband and father. He cared so much for his family, he was always there for them when they needed him. In fact, he was so dedicated to family that every time he visited his parents he was constantly looking for ways around the house to help with the up keep. For 25 years David owned Vice Painting and Drywall, he was an all around handyman for many in the area. He never lacked for customers because of his honesty and good work ethic. Always willing to lend a hand however he could, he was known as someone you could count on and loved by all that knew him. His true pleasure was in teaching people about the Bible and what the future holds. He fulfilled the words found at 1 Thessalonians 1:3. "for we continually remember your faithful work, your loving labor and your endurance." He could often be identified by being the loudest person in the room with his contagious laughter all while enjoying preparing a Cajun meal for family and friends.

His parents, Ken and Janelle (Broussard) Vice; brothers and sisters, Sallie (Charles) Fournet, Kelly (Cherie) Vice, Jason (Judi) Vice; Katie (Kevin) Campisi, John (Janet) Vice, Ruth (George) Mahaffey and his in-laws, Roy and Jeanne Strange.
