Obituary For David Lane Boone
David Lane Boone was born in 1943 in the small town of Molus, located on the Cumberland River in Harlan County Kentucky.
At age 10, he was relocated with mom and his brother, Harry to Covington, KY. He attended Third District Elementary, John G. Carlisle Jr. High and then went on to graduate from Holmes High School in 1962. Afterward, he attended University of Kentucky College of Engineering.
He married Shirley Joyce Mays in September 1966 and raised their two boys, David Irving and Lonnie Matthew in Walton, KY. David is survived by his sons and their wives, 2 grandchildren-Logan and Madison, and extended family.
During his life, he worked as a Manufacturing Engineer using automated manufacturing processes, beginning his career at Cincinnati Milacron, and retiring from Clarion Manufacturing in management.
After retirement, he enjoyed many years performing research for his published book, traveling extensively to discover the origins of the Boone Family. Proud of the Boone Family pedigree, he was able to trace roots six generations back to Daniel Boone, a great uncle, and back to the 6th century to the Norse Raiders.

I have no condolences to share because I've only met David one time. I wanted for so long to say something, but this appears to be all I've got left. It's a shame this "man" who also has several daughters only has two kids listed. My mother and my aunts are smart, successful women who have children doing wonderful things. My mother is an incredible woman and its owed ALL to another man to raised her when this one chose not to. To praise and be proud of your surname but not the children and grandchildren that came from you is crazy. I am embarrassed to be Boone descendent. I hope David asks for forgiveness in his afterlife.
