At the age of 20 he met Rose Marie Cameron on a blind date. They later got married on June 15, 1956. They were married for 54 years and had two children, Robert Lewis Bookout and Deborah Gayle Bookout.
After marriage, David worked as a butcher at the OU commissary. He later opened his own processing plant in Cole, Oklahoma that he operated for 28 years. He then chose to butcher part-time and picked and sold watermelon every summer.
David loved to go fishing and watch NASCAR. He loved classic cars and even had a couple cars that he would take to the car shows. He loved spending the summers selling watermelon and visiting with all those who came through. He was a hardworking and caring father.
