David graduated from the University of Oklahoma with a bachelor’s degree in business administration with a major in accounting. He spent many years in the oil and gas industry, retiring in March 2021 from Continental Resources.

David was preceded in death by his parents, Milford Chisum and Lenora Barnes; a brother, Paul Chisum; and his father-in-law, Meredith Norris.

Those left to cherish his memory are his wife of 47 years, Micaela Chisum; his son, Matthew Chisum; his daughter, Kara Chisum and her husband, Mark Coren; grandchildren, Micah Morris, Zachary Morris, and Aubrey Morris; his siblings, Mark Chisum, Jon Chisum, and Deborah Neifert; his mother-in-law, Marie Norris; sister-in-law and brother-in-law, Michelle and Don Montalbano; as well as a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, other extended family members and friends.

His family respectfully requests that social distancing is practiced at his graveside service, and that attendees wear a mask.
