David Elbert Ogle, age 71, of Elizabeth City, NC, passed away on April 30, 2024 at his home surrounded by family. Born in Pulaski, VA on February 2, 1953, he was the son of the late Malcolm Ogle and Elizabeth Copenhaver Ogle.
David dedicated 30 years of his life to serving in the U.S. Coast Guard, retiring as a Chief Warrant Officer (CWO4). He was known for his unwavering commitment to helping others in need and was a very present father and grandfather. David shared a special bond with his son-in-law, supporting him in stock car racing as his dedicated crew chief. A die-hard fan of his beloved Washington Redskins, he found joy in cheering on his favorite team.
Described as a "go-getter" who always got things done his way, David's impact extended beyond his professional career. He will be deeply missed by his beloved wife of 51 years, Patricia Totten Ogle; his daughters, Windi Ashley and Lara Lawrence (Scott); his two sisters, Patricia Parris (Donald) and Sharyn Ogle; his brother, Donald Ogle (Kathy); four grandchildren, Alyssa Lawrence, Teagan Ashley, Mac Ashley, and Cedric Barker; and numerous nieces and nephews.
A service to honor David's life will be held at 3:00 p.m. on Saturday, May 4, 2024, at Emmanuel Baptist Church with the Rev. Kevin Senn officiating. A visitation will be held from 6:00 to 7:30 p.m. on Friday evening at the funeral home. Memorial gifts may be made to Emmanuel Baptist Church, 109 Chadburn Avenue, Elizabeth City, NC 27909 in remembrance of David.
In the memories cherished by those who knew him, David's generous spirit and steadfast dedication will continue to inspire for years to come.

I enjoyed watching his USCG summer reunion and pool party.
Great neighbor, always willing to help me, if I needed it. I also enjoyed our over the fence conversations
