David Qualls Obituary
David Maurice Qualls came into this life on May 31, 1942, born to Rev. Cullins L. Qualls and Ruby L. Qualls, the fifth of seven children. He graduated from Ventura High in 1960. He worked until he was drafted into the army, and humbly served our country for two years. He married the love of his life, Jarutha Ann, on March 7, 1964, and they spent 46 years happily married. Upon his return from service, he resumed his career as a union cement mason for the following five decades.
His leisure joys included hunting, camping, fishing, jazz music, and dancing. He was also a dedicated member of his beloved Monday Night Football Club, where he was a die hard 49ers fan.
David, known by many of his loved ones as World or Ric-o-chet, left this earth with his family by his side after a brave struggle with cancer early Saturday morning on Nov. 6, 2010. He was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, brother and uncle. His life's delight and largest pride were his children and grandchildren. David and Ann had three children, LaShane Sr. (Sonia), Janeau (Michael), Christopher (Ivy Grace); five grandchildren, LaShane Jr. (Stephany), Jasmin, DAngelo, Jaylen, Beatrice Ann; and one great-granddaughter, Angelina Mariah. David is preceded in death by his parents, his three brothers and one sister, and two sons. He leaves behind three sisters, JoEdna (James) Martha, Irene, Emma (Calvin); one brother, Frank; sister-in-law, Lorraine; and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins and numerous relatives and friends.
A gathering of friends and family to view a photo slideshow and share fond memories will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. Friday, Nov. 12, at the entrusted care of Perez Family Funeral Home located at 1347 Del Norte Road, Camarillo. Please join us at 11 a.m. on Saturday, Nov. 13, at Ivy Lawn Memorial Park, located at 5400 Valentine Road in Ventura, at a ceremony officiated by Pastor Frank Robinson to celebrate David's life, unyielding spirit and lasting legacy. Please sign and view David's memorial page at www.camarillomortuary.com.
In appreciation to all our friends and family who knew and loved David. We've lost one of the Good Ones. Cindy and Joe who were always there, Edmundo and the E & M family, Larry, Nick, Pauline and Livingston Hospice for your wonderful care, and David's beloved Monday Night Football group. To everyone who has touched our lives, you have our sincere thanks and appreciation. Love You All, The David Qualls Family

Dear Miss Jarutha and family,
David was a true friend and will be missed, but not forgotten. He was a devoted husband and father, and even as a young man, he was an old soul. We met at Ventura HS while playing basketball and we had an auto shop class together, which cemented our friendship. He will be in our memory forever.
