David Lee Lindsey, age 86, of Canton, NC, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, August 26, 2025, at Autumn Care of Waynesville, NC.
David was born on November 28, 1938, was the son of the late Deed and Alice Lindsey, and was a lifelong resident of Canton.
He enjoyed the outdoors, was an avid walker by the river, and also loved fishing. His faithful dogs, "Bobbie" and "Doodle," often accompanied him on his walks, and at home, his pet parakeet "Shamrock" brightened his days for many years.
David's memory shall live on in the hearts of those who knew him and loved him.
In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his half-brother Ralph Knight.
David is survived by his long-time friend Donna Walker and several cousins.
To honor his request, no formal funeral services will be held.
Crawford / Ray Funeral Home and Cremation Service is deeply honored to be caring for the Lindsey family.
