David Charles Carlisle

David was a great guy, very funny and kind. When my family and I moved here from New York City (2003), a sweet young boy named Phillip welcome us to the neighborhood and introduced us to the rest of the family. We all became good friends. We could always counted on David to look out for our girls. If they needed something he volunteered to help. Especially when we needed a driver since I didn't drive at the time..
Even though it been a long time since we last saw him, we will always remember his great sense of humor, quick wit and generous spirit.
It's with great sadness that we say goodbye.

This is said far too often, but David was truly one of the kindest people I have ever met! David and I worked together for 6 years in Indianapolis. He was the first of my coworkers to befriend me and offer his support. He was so generous with his time, and very devoted to his family. He was also quite the baker! David would make special treats for us almost every week and on birthdays! His kindness was infectious and his zeal for life was contagious. If David even sensed something off in your day, he was always there to offer kind words of encouragement. I will remember his smile, his laughter, and the many corny dad jokes! I am lucky to have gotten to know David and I wish my best to his family in their time of remembrance!

David was a Shining Star in this world we live in ! He was a very good Friend and I will truly miss him !

Most often I think of David smiling and offering good handshakes and warm words of encouragement.
He was in my new members class and his contribution was the same, good conversation and a smile for each of the others in our class.
He is going to be missed:

To the Carlisle Family,
We first met Dave back in college in 1973. We played baseball together. He quickly became a good friend and was considered family immediately. He was in our wedding in 1974. Dave lit up the room with his quick wit and great sense of humor. We were so glad that he came to visit us earlier this year. And we feel blessed that we were able to visit with him via FaceTime. He will be forever in our hearts. Thank you Laine for keeping in touch with us. We truly appreciate it.

I am so very sorry for your loss. He was a great man full of love kindness and so thoughtful. And a great baker. I am sure you will all miss him very much. I know he loved you all deeply. My heart and prayers are with you.

To the family, your dad was such a cool guy! The first time I met him he was sweet, funny and made you at ease talking to him. I will miss his sense of humor great stories and his amazing deserts! Our thoughts are with you and the family!

Erin, Phillip: Sending you love and prayers during this difficult time. My thoughts are with your family right now.

Erin, Condolences to you and the family.

Erin, I'm so sorry for your loss. Just reading about your father and he seemed like an amazing man. My thoughts are with you and your family.

Where to begin with Uncle David? He was a shining light in the Blakley family. He could cut through all the seriousness with a perfectly-timed joke. He certainly had his faults--he would be the first to tell you that--but his love for family couldn't be denied.

Even though the years and life left me out of contact for so long, I had the pleasure of messaging a bit with him in recent months as he neared hospice care. He was at peace with God, and his faith in Christ was so evident. It was encouraging for me to see his steadfastness to the end. My prayer is that his love for the Lord will have ripple effects even after his passing.

With love to the Carlisle family.

So sorry Laine ,love and prayers for you.

I met Dave when we both worked at Federal Express Trade Networks. I always referred to him as "Dave the Baker" because he would bring in home-made treats to share with everyone on our team. He was always a delightful, cheerful man, and I'm sure everyone who knew him will miss him.

David was such a joy and light in an often dark world. He will be so missed. He was so proud of all of his children. I am lifting you up in love and light and hoping happy memories help to ease the pain of his passing.

David became a dear friend when he and his family came alongside Angie and I to start Indianapolis International Baptist Church. Everything said in his obituary regarding David was seen, experienced, and enjoyed by us and those with whom he came in contact at IIBC. God used his gift of serving among the international community on the northwest side of Indianapolis.

To the Carlisle family I extend my deepest sympathies and prayers on behalf of the Graves family. We know how hard it is to lose a dad. Life is not the same when a beloved parent dies, but we can be thankful he is out of pain and has been upgraded to a perfect heavenly body! Praise God! My prayers are with you each. Bobbi Graves Lidh
