Anthony "David" Trent, 69, of Dalton, GA, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, June 3, 2025. David was born on May 13, 1956 in Pennington Gap, Va., the son of the late Frank and Thelma Trent of Sneedville, TN. David was a beloved member of the Waring Road community. He was best known for David's Automotive Service, his business for 38 years. He took pride in his work and was respected by all his customers. He was a devoted father, husband and "Pawpaw David," making sure everyone was well-fed and taken care of. When his kids were younger, he took them camping, to tractor pulls, flea markets and auto auctions. One of his greatest joys was spending time with his grandkids. A favorite pastime was traveling to flea markets in Alabama, Tennessee, and Ohio with his wife Mary. His dogs, Buddy, Sissy (RIP), Kevin and Zoey were more like children than companions. David's generous heart and funny sense of humor has impacted the lives of everyone he met. He was loved deeply and will be greatly missed. Survivors include his wife, Mary Rebecca "Becky" Trent; children, Justin Trent, Joshua Trent, Jade Roach (Christian), Jacob Trent (Cameron Thomas), and Jonah Trent (Destiny Martin); grandchildren, Blake, Jaylynn, Corban, Tori, Abbie, Myles, Marlene, Karsyn, and Ryder; step son, Darren Johnson (Heather); step grandchildren, Pryson, Hadley, Luke, and Cameron; and his siblings, Birdena Seal, Regina Sexton, and Mark Trent.

Interment will follow at Mount Carmel Baptist Church Cemetery in Chatsworth. Visitation will be Saturday from 11:00 A.M. until the service hour at Dalton Funeral Home.
