My heart is so heavy for your family as you walk through this time of loss. I love all of you so much and remember fondly all of the times we shared together at Porter Memorial. You will never know how watching you walk with the Lord through the years has helped me grow in my walk with Jesus and helped me be who I am today. I will always be grateful for your lives well lived. Prayers for God to wrap His loving arms around you now.
Much love, Laurie Blanton
I did not know David. I read Carrie's emails on Christian book reviews. After reading about David's life, I am positve he has helped many young people learn about Jesus Christ.
He will be missed by family and welcomed home by God.
God Bless his family & friends

God richly blessed me to know David and Linda Booth at Porter Memorial Baptist Church in Lexington, KY beginning in the late 1990s. As I received news on Monday of David's home going my heart felt the pain of loss as I remembered the man who had been a mentor to me in my personal walk with King Jesus during our time together. I will always remember how David and Linda modeled their love for Christ through their obedience to God's word, their service unto the Lord, and their passion for prayer.
God used David and Linda in my life to help me and many others realize that God treasures the prayers of His people described in Revelation 5 as incense that fill bowls of gold before the throne of God!
I remember many opportunities to pray with David, Linda, and others as God blessed us to join Him in the work He purposed to accomplish. David set the example in calling men at Porter to gather in the morning for prayer for the glory of God and the furtherance of His kingdom: that the nations would come to hear and know the glorious Gospel of the Savior, Jesus.
In more than one instance, my dear brother in Christ responded to me in my hour of need. On a difficult day in my life, I called my brother to ask if he could meet me to talk. Within fifteen minutes of my call David had driven to meet me in the prayer room at church to talk and pray in my time of need.
I miss my mentor and dear brother in Christ. Even more I rejoice that he is home with the Lord!
Dear Linda, Carrie, Josh, Eric, Bethany, and family: Know that God has called my family and others at Porter to pray for you this week.

It was a privilege to know this great family during their time at Porter Memorial Baptist Church in Lexington, KY. Michael called to tell us of the untimely passing of David after a battle with cancer. We had just been reminiscing about you all the night before. About our times with the youth, youth trips and times we were in your home. Your whole family is special to us and we want you to know that you are all in our prayers.
In Christian Love

I never had the privilege of knowing Mr. Booth, but I was lucky enough to come to know his daughter Carrie several years ago, and if a father can be "judged" by the way his children turn out, then this man was a true gentleman, influenced all those around him in a positive way, and loved his Lord above all else. Rest in Peace in Heaven, Mr. Booth.
