David L. Hood II transitioned into his eternal rest on Saturday, February 26, 2022 at Conway Regional Medical Center, Conway, Arkansas. David, best known as “Lil David” entered this earthly realm on November 1, 1981, in Conway, Arkansas to David Hood, I and Ann Marie (Reece) Owens Hood.

He was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, Queenetta Owens and Silas Owens, Sr and his paternal grandfather, Rev. Charles T. Hood.

He professed his belief in Christ at a young age and was baptized at Solomon Grove Missionary Baptist Church in Twin Groves, Arkansas. He was a professional American Bully dog breeder and a member of the American Bully Kennel Club (ABKC). He found much joy in caring for his dogs. He took a great pride and had a lot of success in his business — Captain Hood’s Kennel.

Lil David loved and was very protective of his family. He was truly a “Big Brother” to all his siblings. He was also well-known and respected amongst his peers.

He leaves to love and cherish his memory, one daughter, Davianna Mitchell of Little Rock, Arkansas; his parents, David (TyKesha Criswell) Hood, Sr of Menifee, Arkansas, Ann Hood-Kennedy of Lawrenceville, Georgia; his grandmother, Helga Hood of Menifee, Arkansas; his “Bonus Mom”, Vanessa Hood of Springfield, Arkansas.
