David McDougal Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jan. 21, 2014.
David Lynn McDougal, born 12/15/1948 in Morgantown, West Virginia, left this earth on January 21, 2014, at Mercy Hospital Hospice in Hot Springs. David had been a resident of Hot Springs for ten plus years with his wife, Karen Tate. David was well known for his craftsmanship in restoration and wood-working in this area and in Florida, leaving a legacy of beauty in many establishments and hoes. Surviving David, after thirty years of love and devotion is his wife, Karen Tate, along with her large family who has loved him dearly. Those who have gone before David are his parents, Lloyd Rufus McDougal and Wanna Ogden McDougal of Morgantown, West Virginia. No service is scheduled, but a Celebration of Life event will be scheduled at a later date for family and close friends. In lieu of flowers, Karen asks that donations in memory of David be sent to the American Cancer Society, P.O.

I'm saddened to discover Dave's (Mac) passing.
We were very good friends.We lived a mile apart.
We went through school together,Boys Scouts,we did all sorts of things together.Dave was in my Wedding.
I was hoping to visit Dave after I retire in April,2019.I began to search for my "good friend" only to discover this sad news.Dave was a kind person. I"m sure you know,having spent time with him.Now I miss him more than ever.
God Bless You,Gary

Dearest David,

You can breathe an easy breath now. Although you got too sick to finish your house, Benny has finally completed it and has gotten Karen moved into it. You and she dreamed of having a house of your own for so many years. Benny and I are moving to a property we have bought which is less than a mile from there. We are taking good care of Karen, my beloved sister. She still misses you more than you will ever know. (Or maybe you do know.) Although she, too, has been diagnosed with the dreaded disease that took your life so early, she is one tough lady and is facing this illness with more bravery and gusto than I could ever muster. She's staring it in the face and giving it the old 'one-fingered salute'. There is no doubt that she's the winner in this battle.

We love you and miss you and watch for signs from you that you are happy and still cherishing the times that we all had together.

Linda (your favorite sister-in-law) ;-)
