David Benjamin Khouri, age 63, went to be with his Lord and Savior, June 16th, 2018. Born and raised in Columbia, S.C., David was a builder who dedicated his talents to building churches for God's Kingdom throughout the state of South Carolina.
David served the Lord as a deacon at House of Praise Church. He was passionate about saving souls through prison ministry visitations. David became a loving advocate treasuring the orphaned children in the Dominican Republic and Haiti through his church's ministry.
David spent his free time adoring his grandchildren with his loving wife Betty. He was honored to have raised two fine young men who came to know him as their father. David, so very much loved his mother, Daisy and his family. We will remember him as a servant to others above himself and a friend to all. He will be missed dearly.
