Kalas Funeral Home & Crematory

David Matthew Franklin, age 37, a lifetime resident of Lothian, Maryland went to be with the Lord on April 29, 2020, after a long and courageous battle with colon cancer.

David was born on May 10, 1982. He graduated from Kingsway Academy in 2000 and completed IT course certification at AACC. He worked at the NSA as an IT professional.

He was devoted to his wife Danielle Michelle Franklin, and their son Devin Joseph Michael Franklin. He was a loving son of Gary and Johnnie Ann Franklin; brother to Christopher and wife Erin, sister to Sarah; Uncle to Evelyn and Peter; Grandmother Doris Shepherd Phibbons.

David was preceded in death by his son Dylan Franklin; his grandparents John and Jessie Phibbons and Gladys and Bernard Franklin, Sr.

David loved spending time on the family farm with his wife and son. He enjoyed growing hops on the farm and making beer. David enjoyed traveling to the beach, hunting, camping, and cheering for the Capitals, Redskins, and Orioles. David was thrilled to finally see the Capitals win a Stanley Cup.
