The Aubrey, Texas, community is grieving the sudden and tragic loss of David Denton, whose life was cut short following a devastating golf cart accident on Saturday night, March 14, 2026.
According to local authorities, the accident occurred around 10 p.m. along Frontier Parkway, where Denton was driving a golf cart on the sidewalk before turning onto McNatt Road. Witnesses reported that the vehicle nearly struck a pedestrian moments before it crashed. Denton was ejected from the golf cart and found with a severe head injury. First responders quickly arrived and initiated life-saving measures, but despite their efforts, he sadly passed away while being transported to the hospital.
