David Ferril

David Lee Ferril, age 44, of Amarillo, Texas, passed away on Friday, September 25, 2026. He was born on December 28, 1981, in Amarillo to J.R. Ferril and Jeni Ferril Rogers.

David lived a life marked by hard work, deep devotion to his family, and a trademark touch of chaotic fun. He fought with courage and determination until his final day.

David was best known throughout the community for his dedication to the family partnership at T-Miller Wrecker Service. He cherished the relationships he built with other community businesses, the City of Amarillo, DPS, and Potter County. Through years of hard work, he grew into a respected pillar of the wrecker community, leaving behind knowledge that will continue to guide and educate many for years to come. This impact was reflected in the many awards and acknowledgments he received along the way, most recently the 2026 Chief's' Commendation and the Legacy of Impact Award for Andrea’s Project.

Beyond his work, David’s world revolved around those he loved most. He was a fiercely dedicated family man who could often be found supporting “his girls,” attending Trae’s events, or simply enjoying time with family. Jacy and David spent the last 18 years growing together and making memories. Their love story was beautiful, steady, and deeply meaningful. One thing David never skirted around was protecting his wife and his girls. Pity the fool who tried to cross one of them the wrong way; David would leave no words open for interpretation.

David was an avid outdoorsman who found great joy in hunting, fishing, spending time in nature, and racing around a dirt track. And, of course, there was the occasional haunted hunt — those kids may never be the same.

No description of David would be complete without mentioning one of his favorite pastimes: lovingly arguing with his sister Megan or simply finding new ways to annoy her. A “damn it, Dabit” was a clear indicator that he had struck again. David was always finding

creative ways to cause a little good-natured chaos wherever he went. Those who knew him best knew to stay on their toes. He was an unmatched prankster who found endless joy in making people laugh, keeping life lighthearted, and filling ordinary moments with jokes and playful schemes.

Alongside that mischievous spirit was a deeply caring heart, especially reflected in his bond with his nephew, who was truly his built-in best friend. Their relationship was one of mutual loyalty, constant laughter, and shared moments that will never be forgotten.

David’s legacy of warmth, humor, and unwavering love will live on through all who loved him. It will be carried forward by Megan, Jeni, Rick, and most of all by his cherished Jacy, Alexiah, Brookelynn, and Trae, who will proudly continue to honor his memory every day.

David is survived by his wife, Jacy; his daughters, Alexiah and Brookelynn; his mother, Jeni Ferril Rogers, and her husband, Rick Rogers; his sister, Megan; his nephew, Trae, his wife, Kailee, their daughter, Baylor, and baby on the way; his half-sister, Stephanie Baulke; his stepsister, Cassie, and her husband, Perry Jackson; step-sister Lacie Rogers; his stepbrother, Jeffery Rogers, and his wife, Cierra; his uncle, Byron Ferril, and his wife, Kara; his aunt, Debbie Ward, and her husband, Rick; his grandfather, Lonnie Ferril, and his wife, Carolyn; his father-in-law, Jack Elder; and his brother-in-law, Chris Elder, and his wife, Ericka. He is also survived by his nieces and nephews: Thrysten, Emryck, Kynsleigh Nelson, Isabelle Elder, Marcus Cruz, Luna Cruz, Brownie Lewis, Deegan Rogers and his wife, Rhielyn, Blanton, Lucy, Cason, Kuper, Haley, Brystol, and Mason, as well as many cherished and beloved cousins and friends.

David was preceded in death by his father, J.R. Ferril; his grandmothers, Joyce Ferril and Dorthy Rush; his mother-in-law, Cynda Elder; his stepbrother, Rickey Rogers Jr.; and his niece, Adalee Rogers.

Flowers may be sent, or memorial donations may be made to the Towing and Recovery Survivor Fund.

David’s laughter, loyalty, and larger-than-life spirit will remain with all who were blessed to know him.
