David Blaine Trantham, 66, Hastings, passed away peacefully surrounded by his family on May 6, 2022 at the Bailey Family Center for Caring. David was born Dec. 14, 1955 in Tampa, FL, son of the late Boyd and Peggy Trantham. He has resided in Hastings since 1990, moving here from Putnam County. David retired from St. Johns County as a Water Treatment Operator. He loved spending time at home with his family and fishing with friends. He never met a stranger and could talk anyones ear off. We lost a family man, a devout Christian, a loving husband and father and a piece of our hearts but God gained an amazing Angel. He will be missed terribly by all who knew him. A celebration of life will be held at a later date.
