Memories and Condolences
for David Suddreth

My condolences to the entire Suddreth family. I met Mr. Suddreth back when I served on the Thanksgiving Day Parade Board. I remember my first Thanksgiving Day Parade, with David giving me a Bojangle's biscuit and 2 KK Doughnuts!! I've met a lot of friendly people over my years, but David was at the top of my list. He was tireless, hard working and easy to talk to. You could tell the Parade meant a lot to him and the entire Suddreth family. I'm glad he took the time to show and tell me the real meaning of Thanks giving. Giving to others was his life's calling. God Bless!

To the Suddreth Family-We share in your loss-
what a beautiful man!
We met David and June at Good Shepard United Methodist Church Zoar Campus-
we had our daughters family and grand kids at church- David came over, introduced himself to Emma (3) and Maddox (7) and they both immediately hugged and kissed him-David reached into his pocket and gave each of them a NASCAR car-he did that every Sunday- They were always so excited to see him-as were we!
Every day our daughter has to pick up the cars as the kids play with them every day-
What a beautiful man and family-God Bless all of you-
Love,
Mike and Sandy Masterman

Many thanks to David for introducing Dwight Gault, myself (Tom Rodgers) and Gene Law as employees of Charlotte Motor Speedway as Security Officers in the NASCAR garages. David was certainly a gentleman and a wonderful mentor. Certainly he is greatly missed by many many people in the Charlotte area. God Speed my friend...

Worked for/with Dave at Charlotte Motor Speedway. He was a prince of a guy. There was nothing that he wouldn't do for you.
RIP Dave.

I met David in March he pulled up beside my police car and just began talking. One of the nicest people I ever met. He offered my son a summer job and race tickets first time I ever met him. He called me on 3/27/2018 and left a voice mail. I didn't receive answer when I called back. Then I discovered he was married to my cousin years ago. He knew so much about my family and Charlotte Heritage. It was my joy to have met him. He really brightened my day. The family has my deepest sympathy. I even bragged to my son when I met him how I had met such a humble nice man at work today.

June,
I am so sorry to hear of David's passing. He was truly a great man. He gave me an opportunity to volunteer for security at the Charlotte Motor Speedway a couple years ago, while that may be little to some it was a great day for me. I remember how much he enjoyed being there. My family and I are keeping you and your family in our prayers!

How delightful the canvas of David & June. It just continues... to blossom in a panoramic view. All the more between tears... for us to delight in. Nurturing love continues to flow; as we long to console, his bride, a woman of valor and their devoted family. You are an amazing woman June Bug. May the mercies and grace of God continue to fortify your spiritual souls. May the amazing love of Christ and many blessings of the Father continue to manifest throughout the days ahead. How grateful to share the path(s) that you continue to create with His indwelling love. Precious hugs to your furry babies Oreo, Gracie & GrayBoy. The Peace of God be unto thee.
Shalom.

David was a wonderful and kind person. His goal was to help in the community, all you have to do was call David. David never met a stranger, always had a smile on his face and a kind word to you. David will be missed truly in the communities in served on the West Side Corridor.

So so sorry for your loss, June and family. David was so sweet to us and so funny. He always greeted us with a smile and was so joyful. He gave us a little blue race car to our 2 month old son a couple of weeks before our son unexpectedly passed away last yr. I have held onto that car dearly with other things as reminders of Roark. You two have always been so nice and giving. What a beautiful couple and example of Christ's love. So thankful to know you and share an anniversary with you. We are here for you and will check on you. We love you ❤

Aunt June and family,
We are so sorry to hear of Uncle Davids passing. He was a sweet and gentle hearted man. Many trips to Hilton Head took our family to your home each year. No matter who was tagging along with us, you gave everyone a warm welcome. David's hugs, handshakes, and generosity put a smile on everyones face. Anyone who met Uncle David felt as though they had a friend for life. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. "The Lord heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds."

We are saddened to hear of his passing. What a generous and thoughtful man. He would bring us goodies at least once a week. He'd put a smile on all our faces, cracking jokes, or pretending to run the place. He was definitely the boss! Our thoughts and prayers are with June Bug ( what he called you to all of us) and the rest of the Suddreth family.

June, our heart is broken but I know with every ounce of belief I have in me that David is now entertaining and serving the heavenly hosts as well as he did all of us. For over the 40 years we have known this man he has always brought joy to our family's heart. He will certainly be missed. He always left us smiling. We love you and are praying for you my friend. God will bring you to the rainbows.
Thanks for spending our times together. Love You

June and family,
Words cannot express our sympathies nor the impact Pop Pop had on so many lives. It is rare to know such a generous person, both in sharing material things and emotional and spiritual generosity. Always smiling, always giving..always loving..the world is a little dimmer without him here, but heaven is brighter! We are blessed to have known Pop Pop & you are all in our prayers!! Much love!

I grew up across the street from David and all his brothers. I have fond memories of David and all he did for my family during the years. When I was little growing up he would bring me presents often when he would come back from guard duty. He will be missed.. My thoughts and prayers go out to his brothers, his wife and all his family.

David worked for us at the speedway since it began in 1960 and he was one of the best, if not THE best, security personnel we had. He loved people, could do most anything from lay bricks to teach folks about how to do different things. Only one David comes along in a lifetime and I will cherish the time I spent with him

Dave Loved coming to my office and going through our Warehouse full of Goodies. He would bring us fruit and soda and leave with a full truck and a full heart, knowing how many more people he could give things to. And hee never left without giving me a great big hug. I am Blessed to have known him and I pray for Peace for his entire family whom he spoke so highly of, so frequently. I feel sure his legacy will live on forever. See you again some day, Big Dave.

I met David through my involvement with the parade. I knew right away he was a giving man and also a family man. I looked forward to our parade meetings, which he always attended. He loved the Thanksgiving Day parade and you could tell he was the happiest person there. He treated each day as if it was Thanksgiving!!

For almost 31 years now this wonderful man has made every dream I had come true. He loved me and no matter what I looked like, sweaty from gardening, or dressed to go out he always told me I was pretty. He was the love of my life and I am trusting in the Lord to walk me through this season of my life. I can't see into the future without him, I know on the other side there are rainbows after the storm. I am waiting for the rainbows. I love you David Suddreth with a love that will never end. Tell Jesus to save me a place beside you. Soar with angels and walk with Jesus my love.

So sad to hear of David's passing. I first met him when he worked at the Mecklenburg County Jail and developed a great relationship through the years at Good Shepherd UMC.
David was such a giving person and always cared more about others than himself. I know he will leave a void in the hearts of so many. Thoughts and prayers are with June and family in this time of loss!

Ray and I grieve along with the family. David was a gift to us all. He brought smiles wherever he went (along with goodies galore). We've learned so much from him - especially that "we're not right!" He really had a servants heart and will be greatly missed by all who were privileged to know him. Our prayers go out for all the family.
