With heavy hearts and deep gratitude for a life well lived, we remember David Lee Eagle, who passed away on December 24, 2025, at the age of 61.
David was born on July 6, 1964, in
Dover, Delaware, into an Air Force family, a beginning that shaped his strong sense of loyalty, adaptability, and connection to others. From an early age, David learned the importance of family, resilience, and showing up for the people in his life, values he carried with him always.
David truly never met a stranger. Anyone who crossed his path was met with kindness, conversation, and genuine interest, and it didn't take long for people to feel like family in his presence.
Family was the center of David's life. After five years of courtship, he married the love of his life, Valerie (Hall) Eagle, and together they built a life rooted in devotion, laughter, and shared memories. They raised their two children, creating a home filled with warmth, support, and love.
In June of 1989, David began his entrepreneurial journey alongside Valerie when they started working together at SERVPRO. Over the next 25 years, David built a reputation for hard work, reliability, and pride in doing things the right way. After those years, he went on to open his own business in restoration and repair services, continuing to serve others with skill, dedication, and integrity. His work was more than a career. It was another way he cared for people and helped them rebuild.
David's home was more than a house. It was a home for us all. It was a place of welcome and belonging, where stories were shared, laughter was easy, and everyone knew they were always welcome.
He also knew how to enjoy the simple pleasures of life. Whether it was sharing a beer, swapping stories, or hanging out at hunting camp, David cherished time spent connecting with others. Those moments were never just about the drink or the camp. They were about friendship, humor, and being together, memories that will live on through the stories told by those who love him. David was a proud and devoted "Pops." His five grandchildren knew him by that cherished name - a name that meant comfort, laughter, and unconditional love. Pops was someone they could count on, someone who made them feel special just by being near. The bond he shared with his grandchildren was one of his greatest joys.
David is survived by his wife, Valerie Eagle; his loving children: his son, Austin Eagle, and his wife, Taylor, and their children, Remington, Taelynn, and Tyndall; and his daughter, Caylee Morgan (Eagle), and her husband, Adam, and their children, Rylen and Parker. He is also survived by his sisters, Sheri Dubois and her husband, Adrian; Lisa Armstrong; and his nieces and nephews, Sarah, Melanie, Adrian John, Britni, Josh, and Kaci.
David was preceded in death by his parents, John and Patricia Eagle; his brother, Daniel Eagle; and his nephew, Christian Hall. David cherished his family above all else, and the legacy he leaves behind is one of devotion, kindness, humor, and quiet strength. Though our hearts ache in his absence, we find comfort in the life he lived and the love he gave so freely.
He will be deeply missed and always remembered.
1 Corinthians 16:13 Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong.
