October 13, 1948 – June 17, 2026
David Ray
Elliott, 77, passed away unexpectedly on June 17, 2026, leaving behind
a legacy of love, dedication, service, and countless memories that will
be treasured by family and friends for generations to come.
Born on
October 13, 1948, David lived a life marked by hard work, loyalty, and
devotion to those he loved. He proudly served in the United States
Marine Corps from 1968 to 1970, stationed in Okinawa as a mechanic. His
service reflected the same values that guided him throughout his life:
commitment, integrity, and perseverance.
On September
29, 1967, David married the love of his life, Sandra Elliott. Their
love story began long before their wedding day. Sandra was David's
first love, dating all the way back to the third grade where they
shared their first kiss. Together they built a lifetime of memories and
shared nearly 59 years of marriage filled with love, laughter,
devotion, and unwavering support for one another.
David is
survived by his beloved wife, Sandra Elliott; his children, Vanessa
Stringer (Jon), Shane Elliott (Pam), and Paul Elliott (Shari); his
grandchildren, Britany Gil (Alan), Tabitha Kertamus, Trevor Elliott,
Taylor Elliott, Ethan Stringer (Faith), Chloe Elliott, and Alyssa
Elliott; and his great-grandchildren, Xander Gil, Landon Gil, and Maya
Stringer.
He was
preceded in death by his son, David Kyle Elliott; his parents, David
and Marguritte Elliott; his brother, Tommy Joe Elliott; his grandson,
Avery Kertamus; and his great-grandchildren, Corbin and Ashton Gil.
For 35 years,
David worked at DARR Equipment as Parts Manager, where he was respected
for his knowledge, dedication, and dependability. Beyond his career, he
devoted many years to the Lewisville Soccer Association as a coach,
referee, and player, leaving a lasting impact on the local soccer
community and the many young athletes he mentored.
David enjoyed
cars, fishing, hunting, baseball, and spending time with family and
friends. He was known for his love of Mountain Dew, cinnamon candy, and
a good ballgame. Those who knew him best often remarked that he
possessed the patience of Job-a steady, calm presence who rarely seemed
rattled by life's challenges and was always willing to lend a helping
hand.
David was the
kind of man who could always be counted on. Whether helping fix a
problem, offering practical advice, or simply being present, his family
knew they could depend on him. His steady nature, generous heart, and
remarkable patience were among the many qualities that made him so
deeply loved.
Above all,
David was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and
great-grandfather. His greatest joy came from his family, and he took
immense pride in watching each generation grow and thrive. His quiet
strength, unwavering loyalty, and steadfast love will be deeply missed
but forever remembered.
Though his
passing was unexpected, the impact of his life will continue through
the family he loved so dearly and the many lives he touched along the
way.
In lieu of
flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made in David's
memory to one of two organizations that were especially meaningful to
him: the Wounded Warrior Project or the ALS Association. Your support
of these foundations would be a meaningful way to honor David's life
and legacy.
Semper Fidelis - Always Faithful.
