David "Tommy" Singleton
Abingdon, Va.
David Thomas “Tommy” Singleton, age 68, of Abingdon, Va., went to walk with Jesus his Lord and Saviour on Thursday, March 2, 2017, following a lengthy struggle.
He was a true inspiration to all who knew him. He was a lifelong resident of Abingdon, Va., and a member of Faith Baptist Church. He was a loving son, husband, father, pappy and friend to everyone.

He loved farming, his tractors and his farm animals all of his life…. Especially “Lucky”. During his lengthy struggle he was strengthened by his faith in God and encouraged by his faithful furry companion “Mickey”.
He was preceded in death by his father, Garland Singleton and sister, Martha Singleton Williams.
