David E. Mimms Sr.

David E. Mimms Sr. passed away peacefully on March 12, 2026, at the age of 81, surrounded by his family at home. Born on December 4, 1944, in Fort Worth, Texas, he spent his life in Glen Rose, Texas. David lived with quiet strength, hard work, and deep devotion to his family and his faith. Though he often appeared reserved and tough on the outside, those closest to him knew the profound love he carried and expressed through his steady, dependable actions rather than words. He found great joy in the outdoors, particularly farming, fishing, and hunting, yet nothing meant more to him than God and his family.

He was preceded in death by his father, Edgar Mimms of Glen Rose; his mother, Oleta Mimms of Fort Worth; and his brother, William Mimms of Glen Rose.

David is survived by his wife, Rosie Mimms; his children, David Mimms Jr. and wife Kim, and Monica Morris and husband Rickey; his granddaughter, Brittney Mills and husband Cory; and his great-grandchildren, Wyatt, Brynlee, Carson, and Aaron, along with extended family and friends who loved him dearly. He will be remembered for his strong character, unwavering faith, and the quiet, steadfast presence he offered to everyone in his life. His legacy endures through the family he cherished above all else.
