David "Butch" Gwyn Jarvis, Sr.

David “Butch” Gwyn Jarvis, Sr., 77, of Winston-Salem, passed into the loving arms of the Lord while surrounded by loved ones on Friday, May 22, 2026, at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center.

Butch was born March 18, 1949, in Forsyth County to the late James Thomas and Dorothy Mae Jarvis. Throughout his life, he worked in several careers, including opening the first SERVPRO franchise before selling the company in the late 1970s and later becoming a brick mason.

A proud United States Marine, Butch honorably served his country during the Vietnam War. He was of the Baptist faith and was a devoted family man who loved spending as much time as possible with those he loved. In his spare time, he enjoyed jogging, hunting, fishing, and playing golf.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his first wife, Helen Puckett Jarvis; brothers, Jerry Wayne, Robin Lee, and Jeffery Dale Jarvis; sisters, Brenda Lee Freeman, Louanne Jarvis, and Polly Sue Jarvis; half-sister, Linda Ann Jarvis; and sister-in-law, Judy Jarvis.

Left to cherish his memory are his wife, Cindy Jarvis; children, Bobby Lee Jarvis (Susan Craver), David Gwyn Jarvis, Jr. (Christa), and Traci Jeanete Jarvis; brothers, Tim Jarvis and Tommy Jarvis (Kathy); grandchildren, Kylie, Keara, Leah, Jeremy, Kendra, and Jacob; along with many other beloved family members and special friends.
