David grew up in West Texas, alongside his brother Doug, and from an early age, he developed a passion for the land and its resources. He pursued a career in petroleum engineering, dedicating his life to the oil fields and oil rigs that defined much of the region’s economy. Known for his hard work and commitment, David’s career spanned decades, marked by his expertise and deep connection to the industry.

Beyond his work, David had a love for cars that was unmatched. He spent countless hours working on, detailing, and trading cars, a hobby that brought him immense joy. His friends and family will fondly remember him as a “positively negative” man—a unique personality trait that endeared him to those who knew him best.

He is also survived by his children: Cody Sewell, Brandy Lukyanov, Blake Sewell and wife Miranda, Broc Sewell, Bo Spieker, and wife Ashley, who will carry forward his legacy. David was a proud grandfather to Elliana, Adrik, Daiva, August, and Wyatt, who brought him immense pride and joy.
