Mr. Paul David “Root” Hamilton

Mr. Paul David “Root” Hamilton, age 70, a much-loved son, brother and uncle, and resident of Rockwood, Tennessee passed away Monday, January 7, 2019 at the Roane Medical Center, Harriman, Tennessee. He had been battling several health issues and the Good Lord knew it was time to call him home. David was born May 22, 1948 in Rockwood where he lived all of his life. He retired from Kaiser-Roth after over 25 years of service. He also later worked for Kimble Chase and Walmart. David was passionate about caring for others as shown by his dedication to his mother, brother, and sister during their sicknesses. He also loved traveling (if the car was moving, he was going), trying new foods, being with his family, and fishing. He grew up attending, and was a member of the Rockwood Church of Christ.

David was preceded in death by his parents, Earl and Zora Hamilton; sister and brother-in-law, Joyce and David Wilson; and brother, Earl “Ronnie” Hamilton.
