David Rainey

David Allen Rainey, 56, passed away at his home on February 28, 2016.

Mr. Rainey was a graduate of Briarcrest High School and Memphis State University, where he was a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity, serving terms as Treasurer and President. David joined his father, Jay, at Rainey Commodities Brokerage Firm where they worked side-by-side for several years until Jay's retirement. He then became a founding partner and CEO of Consolidated Medical Staffing, operating branches in six locations across the southeast.

He grew up boating on Pickwick Lake and always enjoyed annual lake trips with college friends. He also enjoyed playing golf several times each year, weather permitting. "DR" was renowned for his frugal spending habits and his laugh, but he will be best remembered for his integrity, and fair and honest approach to every situation, in business and in life.

He was preceded in death by his mother, Jeanette Rainey, brothers Doug Rainey and Danny Rainey.

He is survived by his wife, Jenny (Rose) Rainey; and

His father, Jay Rainey of Bartlett.

A memorial service will be held Thursday, March 3 at Memphis Funeral Home & Memorial Gardens, 3700 N. Germantown Road, Bartlett, Tennessee. The family will receive friends from noon until 2 p.m., followed by a memorial service at 2.
