David McCarty

Sincere condolences to Monica , Maxine and Reid. We were so shocked and saddened to learn of Dave´s passing, no words can express our sorrow. Dave was a real gentleman and a pleasure to be around. Apologies for not being able to attend the service as we were in Ireland. Ciarán, Louise, Nora and Méabh Scally

Rest in peace cousin David. May his family receive comfort from the wonderful memories of joyful times together as you honor a life well lived. Myles and Diane Gush Stempin Beaufort, NC

I remember Dave´s signing with the Twins and his arrival in Orlando Florida to the Sun Rays. I remember having lunch the first day in town with Monica. I am saddened by the news of my former teammate. Even though we lost connection through the years I remember his laughs together in the locker rooms and long bus rides. Wishing and giving my prayers to Monica, their kids and Dave´s family through this very challenging time. Thanks for sharing all those words of his life and the many great...

We played baseball, in Houston when we were kids. I moved away in `86. Wasn´t until `93 or `94, I was umpiring in the Southern League and Dave was down for a rehab stint with the Twins. We were in Huntsville Alabama, when my name was introduced. Dave jumped to the top steps and started yelling at me. We had lunch, the next day and could have talked for hours. It is a damn shame!!!

He was a classmate at Sharpstown High school. He was a great guy and took the time to say hello while passing in the hallway. My sincere condolences. -Jerome Ronquillo.

I met David in elementary school. I remember in 1979, when we competed in the MLB Pitch, Hit and Run competition. I won gold and David won silver and we both got to advance to the regional competition. I played against and with him from then, through high school. He was always larger than life with his friendly insults and teases. He was a born leader and will truly be missed. God needs him up there more than we need him down here. Gone way too soon.

David and I started a friendship back in middle school when we began an 8 year run of being home room buddies that spanned through SHS. I never knew him to be anything other than a very tall, happy go lucky and funny friend. It saddens me deeply that he was taken so soon! Condolences to all of the family and friends who have lost a dear sweet soul.
