David's obituary
Dr. David Ramsey Waters, 75, of Cisco, Texas, passed away on September 6, 2021 after a battle with COVID-19. David was born on November 24, 1945 to Theodore Edwin Waters and Wilma Christine Waters in Gilmer, Texas. After graduating from Cisco High School in 1965, he joined the US Navy and became a Navy Corpsman. He was, eventually, stationed at a hospital in Yokosuka, Japan. It was in Japan where he met his first spouse, Donna Richman and mother of his first two children, Jasson Waters and Christina Rowland. He went on to study Chiropractic Medicine at the University of Western States in Portland Oregon. After graduation, he opened his first practice, Waters Chiropractic, in Muskogee, Oklahoma and served the community for over 20 years. In 1997 he met his second spouse Bibiana Guerra Waters from Michigan and wed in 1998 going on to have one child, Elena Grace Waters and a dog named Cisco. In 2017, Bibiana was diagnosed with breast cancer. Even though separated at the time, he never hesitated to take her under his wing and care for her as best he could. He supported her in every way possible until her last day. David was a force of nature, determined to provide for his family and give them the life he felt they deserved. His family meant more to him than anything else in the world, something he often mentioned. He was unendingly proud of Jasson, Christina, Elena and grandson Kristian and always tried his best to support them.
David was a very curious child, which often got him and his dog, Wag, into trouble. Especially with his older brother and sister. Something he never outgrew. He often noted that he was always a little different than those around him. He was interested in things most people didn't care or know about. In high school, you could find him out on a date, playing football, or at the local hospital watching surgeries. His interests and talents were vast and varied. He was always reading and learning new things. One week he was reading about mitochondria and the next he was building a tiny house. He never stopped looking for the answers to health's most asked questions. This is what made him a great doctor. He was a healer, writer, artist, and tinkered with anything that was of interest to him. He made many friends along the way, he was just the kind of person who drew people in. He never lost his childlike spirit and love for life. Anyone who knew David knew that he was the most loving father a family could ask for and the friend you could always count on.
David was predeceased by his parents Theodore and Wilma, spouse Bibiana, Uncle Junior and his childhood dog, Wag, in whom he always cherished. He is survived by siblings Buddy Waters and his spouse Linda Waters, Diana Fraley and her son Mike Fraley. His children Jasson Waters, Christina and David Rowland and grandson Kristian Waters, Elena Waters and Mitch Uppman. And his dog, Jack.
