David McCall Obituary
He graduated from Southeast Missouri State College with a B.S. in history and then after being called into ministry, he received his Masters of Divinity from Southern Seminary in Louisville, KY. Dave went on to receive his Masters in Education (1993) and Doctor of Education (2001) from University of Missouri at St. Louis.
David pastored churches in WV, MN, MO, KY, and VA - some in conjunction with the Southern Baptist Convention North American Mission Board. His last position was as Director of Missions for New River Baptist Association in VA. After retiring, he and his wife moved to Kings Mountain where they joined First Baptist Church Kings Mountain. There he was an active member as an adult life group leader and served as a mentor to many in and outside of the church. His great loves were studying and teaching the scriptures and he cherished time spent with family. He was a faithful servant of God, devoted husband, and loving father and papaw.
He is preceded in death by both parents, a brother, Kendall McCall, and sister Frances Wilcut.
David is survived by his loving and devoted wife of 56 years Barbara Renard McCall, of the home, sons John David McCall of Louisville, KY, Jeff (Jennifer) McCall of Kings Mountain, NC, granddaughters Hailey and Hannah McCall of Kings Mountain, NC, and several nieces and nephews.
Funeral services will be held at 3:00PM Saturday, March 1, 2025 at First Baptist Church of Kings Mountain with Rev. Dr. John " Bro Chip" Sloan. Visitation will be held one hour prior to the service in the Parlor. Burial will follow the services at Mountain Rest Cemetery.
