David McCoy Obituary
Dave was a retired diesel mechanic who, after graduating in 1973 from Clifton Forge high school in Virginia, started his journey driving over-the-road semis for over 20 years before graduating school as a mechanic. Dave filled his free time by being a volunteer firefighter for several Indiana counties, an ABATE member for many years and also taught courses for over 10 years, a longtime member of the Eagles, and a lover of all things motorcycle. Dave's favorite pastime was riding his motorcycle and sharing that with his many friends that he called family.
Dave is survived by his wife, Donna (Carter); Sons, David (Kristen) McCoy, Paul (Emily) McCoy, and Daniel McCoy; daughter, Angela (Larry) Taylor; Stepdaughters, Helen Bunting and Sarah Burgan, Aunt Cindy, 16 grandchildren and a huge extended family.
A private ceremony will be held at the Vallonia Gym, 2459 S. Main St.
A Celebration of Life will also be held at the Eagles Lodge in Seymour, In-TBD.
Please send any flowers, gifts, or donations to 2317 S. S. MAIN ST., Vallonia, IN 47281.

So sorry to hear about this. Dave and I were childhood friends from Lambs Creek Pa and we had many many good times together until the flood of 1972 and Dave moved away. Oh, the stories I could tell. I wish I could have known him later in life. God bless his family. Dick Frank

I spent most of my childhood glued to my dad. I had to be near him at all times, like a tiny (adorable) shadow. He called me "PJ" because I was his "pride and joy". I have tons of funny, sad, difficult stories I could tell you but this, these photos, my memories... I´ll hold onto.
