William McDonald Obituary
David lived a remarkable life fueled by his passion for work, his great sense of humor and quick wit.
David's relentless dedication to his work was clear through his many successful businesses. He was the founder of David McDonald Rentals, along with many other business ventures throughout the years. At a very early age, it was clear David was an entrepreneur. He started his first business, a fence company, as a teen.
David had several influential mentors throughout his life, whom he learned many things from that would shape and mold his decisions in business and in life. He lived by the saying "plan your work and work your plan".
With calloused hands and relentless spirit, David had a knack for turning dirt into thriving subdivisions and multi-family communities.
There was never a quiet or dull moment around David. He loved to pick on his friends and those closest to him. David had a big heart and if he loved you, then he loved you for life and always had your back
His hands may be at rest, but the foundations he built – both in family and friends – will stand strong.
David will be dearly missed by his surviving family: loving wife, Teresa McDonald; sister, Debbie McDonald; children, Daniel Dasher, David McDonald Jr., Bobbie McDonald; granddaughter, Gracyn Dasher; and his beloved blue heeler, Rico.
He is preceded in death by his parents, Author McDonald, Bobbie McDonald; second mother/aunt, Lurnell Horne; and a brother, Lynn McDonald.
Active pallbearers: Dewayne Wells, Patrick Bowen, Jeff Gaskin, Jason Blizzard, Joel Pifer, Jay McDonald, Kyle McDonald and Bradley Dunn.
The family will receive friends on Thursday, March 13th, 2025, at 1 p.m. at Carter Funeral Home.
The funeral service will be held on March 13th, 2025, in the chapel of Carter Funeral Home at 2 p.m. Burial will immediately follow the service in the Allenhurst Presbyterian Cemetery.
Carter Funeral Home is in charge of the arrangements.
