David A. Delcourt

David Delcourt, 66, of Rock Island, IL, cruised into this world on November 22, 1958, and left us with the engine still running and a story halfway told.

Graveside services are 1:00 p.m. Monday, August 11, 2025, at Calvary Cemetery, Rock Island. Trimble Funeral Home & Crematory, Moline, is entrusted with arrangements. Memorials may be made to the family for a fund to be established in Dave’s memory.

Born to Marja and Charles Delcourt Sr. (both deceased), Dave grew up surrounded by family, laughter, and a deep-rooted love for all things on wheels—especially Camaros. As a teenager, he famously convinced his mom that the “kids” needed a car—and somehow talked her into buying a Camaro. That move set the tone for a lifetime of charm, wit, and a passion for muscle cars, especially his prized 1974 Camaro Z28.

A member of the Rock Island High School Class of 1976, Dave started working as soon as he was legally able and never looked back. After early stints at Wareco and Cummins, he found his home at Quad City Peterbilt—where he spent 40 years as the go-to parts guy, keeping trucks (and coworkers) running smoothly with equal parts expertise and humor.

Dave wasn’t just known for finding the right part—he was the guy who’d make you laugh while doing it. He could tell a story like nobody else, fill any silence with charm, and had a laugh that echoed long after the punchline. His personality was larger than life. His sense of humor? Even bigger.

Beyond his career, Dave was a father to Tom and Hannah, and a proud grandfather to Logan, Tiereney, and Tommy. He especially cherished his role as “Grandpa,” always eager to share his hobbies—model trains, RC cars, and muscle cars—with his grandkids and create lasting memories with them.

He is preceded in death by his parents, his brother Charles, and his sister Denise. He is survived by his children and grandchildren; his siblings Alexa (Eric) Ritterhoff, Pete (Carrie) Delcourt, and Paul (Rox) Delcourt; and a whole crew of friends who were lucky to ride shotgun in his life.

Dave’s send-off wouldn’t be complete without one final laugh and a little celebration. So in his honor, throw on some music, crack open a cold one (responsibly—Dave loved cars, not court dates), and raise a glass. Whether you're reminiscing in the garage or cruising down memory lane, take the scenic route—and make sure there’s a good story along the way. Dave would’ve had one ready.

Here’s to Dave. Parts legend, Camaro lover, master storyteller, and the best kind of guy to share a drink—and a laugh—with.
