David Weslie McDilda

David Weslie "Pop's" McDilda, age 80, passed away on Monday, June 9, 2025, at Tattnall Health Care in Reidsville. He was born in Lyons on December 14, 1944, to Ollie and Edna Rountree McDilda and had lived in Toombs County all of his life.   David was a proud graduate of Lyons High School. His passion for service led him to a distinguished career, during which he served as a police officer for an impressive 37 years, ultimately retiring as a sergeant from the Lyons Police Department. In addition to his law enforcement career, he was the owner of D & A Concrete and Finishing, a landscaping company that reflected his commitment to his craft and his community.

He had a deep love for traveling and cherished every moment spent with his grandchildren, creating lasting memories filled with joy and laughter. His generous spirit and warm heart touched the lives of many, and his presence will be profoundly missed.
