Oh Jacque. .
I Just Heard.
My Heart Breaks
I Am SO Sorry. Let Me First Remind You, Your Dad TRULY Loved You And Please Know, You Made Him VERY Proud.

Over The Years Dave And I Had Many Great Discussions About Business, Golf, Music, Business And Life..
Did I Mention Business?

OUR JOB NOW
Remember, As Christians, We Are Supposed To Be Happy That Our Loved Ones Are No Longer Suffering And Are Now Safely In The Loving, Caring Arms Of Our Lord Jesus, For Eternity.

The Real Struggle, Is Dealing With Our Own Sadness And Loneliness Knowing They Are Gone And How Much We Will Miss Them.

HOWEVER
Our Jesus Has Promised Us That We Will Meet Them Again,
And I Know That You Believe In That Promise.

RIGHT NOW
Your Dad Is In Heaven
With My Mom, Sharing Stories, Watching Over Us And Waiting For OUR Arrival.

Jacque, Again, My Sincere
Condolences To You And The Rest Of Your Family As Well.
I Know It's Tough Right Now,
But YOU Are The Daughter Of A Proud United States Marine AND MUST 
'Carry On'

Dave is a Unique and Unbelievable soul whom I always felt very close to and who I am going to greatly miss.

Dave was bright, well read, knowledgably, kind, humorous, spiritual and always (and I really mean always) a pleasure to be around and to talk to.

He had a rare effervescent spirit and optimism about him. I always felt honored to speak to him.

I learned from him. He made me a better person and made me feel better about myself, as well.

He was always a ray of light in what is sometimes a dark world.

I knew him better than any other Identical twin that I had met in my life. I learned more about identical twins from him and Don than all the others I have known combined. Although I am going to miss him, I'm happy that they are again together.

Dave was strong--an ex marine...yet melded strength with kindness. Some of his stories were legendary.

As we must SHARE him now with God in Heaven, I have to look back and just reflect back on how fortunate I was to know him for over 27 years. Say not in grief, he is no more here right before me, but in thankfulness that he WAS.

Mr. David "Papa" McCarroll
My heart is broken into a million pieces. I sure miss you. Thank you for treating me like a Son and calling me so. I also lost my Mother at a young age and a Twin not long ago. Thank you for being more than a friend to me. Thank you Papa for sharing your life with me these eight or nine years. You let me live with you and Mary Ellen. You tought me so much Pappa, a true blessing, a human treasure is what you are. It's hard for a man to say this to another but I love you very much, Always have, Always will. Rest easy Pappa and Thank You for Your service Sir.. Semper Fi.
My Prayers are with the family.
Forever in our hearts.

Sending my condolences to your family at this difficult time. So sorry for your loss.

To all the family, we are so sorry for your loss. Dave was a fun person and quite the joker. We wish all of the family peace at this difficult time. God Bless.

I met David when I was in my 20's. I was modeling in Dallas, TX. Back in the 80's. David was just starting another furniture store. I met, his darling 9 yr old daughter Jacque and taught her to dive, his Twin Brother Don and his adorable small children Michael and Christine, as well as his Father JR and David's daughter Sherry while visiting.That was the beginning of a life long love.
David was a Marine and there is no truer statement than Once a Marine Always a Marine. He won a good conduct medal and was stationed in San Diego at El Toro.
David had a great sense of humor and some of the corniest jokes I've ever heard. Many that were passed down from his Father JR.
David was a dreamer and often made his dreams come to pass. Going to Taliesin (Frank Lloyd Wright's Foundation) was one that he was especially proud of. Being there he got to meet many famous people from dining with Svetlana Stalin and listening to famous musicians that often played there. David was an extremely talented architect worked on all the details for the music building at ASU, worked on the Shaw's Palace and numerous jobs with Charles Magadini. He could also paint and was a wonderful artist.
David was highly intelligent, fiercely good looking and confident in his ability. David could Sell Anything. When he was in Boston he sold cookware door to door to mostly young single women while the Boston Strangler was loose. Only he could do that. As well as being #1 salesman during that time. Which became a trend for him years later being the #1 salesman for Allegro Motor Homes. Which he thoroughly enjoyed.
David was a great dancer and twirled me around many dance floors. He could sing and play the guitar which he enjoyed around a campfire. We often went to Forrest Houses in Oak Creek, driving on the Rim or just visiting Sedona. He loved the golf course there, well he loved a golf course just about Anywhere. It was so fun riding in the golf cart watching Ronnie, Don and Dave play golf while reminiscing about days gone by. David was a terrifc athlete lettering in 3 sports in School. So he was a good golfer. David's music taste ranged from Slim Whitman to my favorite Nessun Dorma.
David loved fried anything and especially if it had gravy. That was only surpassed by his love of butter. Consequently he developed heart disease. Which lead to his heart surgery years ago and subsequent stints.
His heart was beautiful David had great compassion for people and love for family. Dave and Don were both acolytes in the Episcopal Church David loved God and respected his Faith in Christ Jesus. David loved me over 40 years and I have so much to be grateful for. David was not hooked to any machines, not in pain, not sick, still loved his fried chicken and He knew he was loved. He was watching a Western (His favorite) when he quietly passed from this life into the loving arms of our Lord Jesus. I can't imagine my world without you in it. I'll love you forever until we meet in heaven. Your loving wife... Mary Ellen

David.I didn’t know you very well but I met you at jaquie’’s for thanksgiving .We hit it off pretty good. I wish you could have stayed around a while longer so we could have got to know each other better. It was hard for my daughter in law but she’s a strong women. David we will miss you so much. Darlene Garcia

These tributes are amazing. I love reading them. He spoke to me of all of you. He was a tough man/Marine, but also had a heart of gold under all of the disguise of being a tough guy! His smile, laughter and annoying whistle, often made up for those tough times. ha ha ha Again, David rest in peace and those that loved him and knew him, be at peace too.

Where do I start, the life that we shared had its ups and downs, I do remember very soft hearted understanding father who would reach out his hand and do the best he could. I loved you dearly even though we didn’t see Eye 2 Eye, you were my dad who believed in the Heavenly Father you were my dad smart and sharp as a tack, you are my dad United States Marine, you are my dad. I remember his story short but sweet, you went out of town and we had a Z 28 took it down ration around town and went to the airport for the drags I remember racing George man that guy‘s truck was fast but not fast enough lol, yes uncle Don snitched me off , That was hell to pay I thought I was about to meet Jesus. At the lake Dallas house I lived during high school had some great times, living with Jacque and Lynn and mom Janice, I love my sisters dearly including Sherry and my brother Jim, I remember Lynn taking the car I believe it was a Monte Carlo to Corpus Christi with her friends and forgetting to check the oil Yes that car never returned lol, both girls were very talented in cheerleading, I remember hanging out with dad and grandfather in the backyard. Specifically remember coming home from a baseball game on St. Patrick’s Day and uncle Don and dad telling me it was time to graduate to a man and handed me a bottle of Jamison‘s Irish whiskey , I specifically remember spending the night in the backyard with Sam dog me and dad both, I remember my head pounding for two days lol,. Dad.. I know you’re in a better place look down upon your children and the ones you loved, be proud and be content that we will be OK we have each other! We are McCarroll‘s and you are our dad gone but not forgotten! I love you and by the way the next hole you’re going to play needs a 7-iron not a Fivewood !! Listen to uncle Don, By the way say hi to uncle for me and grandfather!

Jacque,

I remember meeting your dad years ago and I’m so very sorry for your loss. I love all of the posted photos and stories especially the ones of you and Lynn together! Take care of yourself l, I’m thinking of you today and alway. I love you 

If the Army and the Navy ever look on Heaven's scenes;
They will find the streets are guarded
By my Uncles
United States Marines.
I love you all. Feeling I don't know. Remember the "boys" visiting the Carefree house, saving me from a rattlesnake, and sitting on the porch waiting for the chicken assaulting coyote before dawn.
Remembering sitting on Uncle Dave and him seeing how many pushups he could do with me sitting on his back. I was short. Don't remember how old.
Love you all.

Jacque,

I remember meeting your dad years ago and I’m sorry for your loss. I love all of the posted photos and ones of you and Lynn together! Take care and know I’m thinking of you.

I'm sending my prayers and sincere condolences to Jacque and her family!

I’m Jacque’s sister - David was my stepfather for about 12 years. While most of my time with him was not great, I do have fond memories of the time with him mostly due to spending time with his kids Jeff, Jim, and Sherry (I think of Jim from time to time and cannot believe he is gone. He was such a great person.) This entry is mostly for Jeff, Sherry and Jacque to read:

Twins:
My younger years included meeting David’s twin brother, Don, for the first time. I came into the living room and saw ‘two Davids’ standing side by side - both with their arms out to me to see who I would go to (I’m sure that they must have done that trick many times in their lives!) I remember being so surprised that even though they looked so similar, Don’s voice was so much deeper and a dead giveaway as to who was who. David and Don sang Everly Brothers songs, I think it was Don playing the guitar - “Wake Up Little Suzie” and “Bird Dog”. They both had great singing voices, and they would harmonize so well. I remember thinking that they must be somehow related to the Everly Brothers (both brother duos?).

His kids/my new siblings!:
Most all of my fond memories of time with him are from time spent with my step-siblings (as well as Don's kids Scott, Kelly and Christine). When I was a teenager, David’s kids, Jeff, Jim, and Sherry, came to visit and Jeff actually lived with us for a while during high school. We were all very close in age. I personally loved having these new kids around, as I am 7 years older than Jacque, and she and I were on our own much of the time. We all liked each other (Sherry and I sometimes ganged up and teased Jim). Jacque loved having her older brothers and sisters together. We always included her, as she was so cool and would go along with anything we wanted to do, like making forts, playing games, and putting on shows. I still remember putting on dance shows for the parents. I think it was just the girls, including Jacque’s younger cousin Christine (Weenie) - Donna Summer’s “Last Dance”. Those are some of my best memories of growing up.

Dancing:
He would do “the Monkey” - so funny. He was a great dancer, and I got a kick out of all the 50s dances he knew.

Humor:
David had a great sense of humor and could be very funny. I remember his very tired joke of lightly slapping you on the back to get your attention and saying, “Guess who’s back?” and the person would answer, “Who?" - “Yours!”, he’d say. He had a trick where he would lay a cigarette on the back of his hand, then slap it to flip the cigarette up into his mouth. I remember seeing him try several times until it would work, then clapping! Also, watched Sanford and Son on TV and Richard Prior and Gene Wilder movies. I know David influenced my sense of humor.

Smart/Talent:
David was really great at math and had a strong aptitude for drawing. He had a drafting table could have become an architect had he pursued that.

Camero Z-28:
For a time, he had this black Z-28. He actually let me drive it (Jeff did too). I remember being 15 (I had an Idaho driver's license) and driving around the neighborhood with my new friend Vicky Stermer, all around the housing development. I also remember Jeff taking out the car and doing do-nuts in the parking lot! Looking back, I’m surprised David let us drive it, but it was pretty cool.

Cooking and Dinners Out:
He would make homemade noodles, bread pudding, etc. I remember thinking chipped beef on toast was so special or fancy because he made such a big deal about it when it was really a food from his days in the Marine Corps. I loved all of that food. While I’m sure we probably could not have afforded it, we would occasionally go out to eat dinner and be able to order whatever we wanted. Jacque, at around 6 years old, told the waiter, “I’ll have the lobster”, and we all just cracked up laughing. I think someone did order it to share with her.

Support:
He and my dad hated each other. There was a lot of turmoil in my youth between the two of them. When I was 17 (and no longer living with David), my dad died and it was just the worst time. I was surprised to receive a condolence card in the mail from David, which I appreciated and still have. He signed it “Love, Dad II”. When I was in my early 20s and struggling a bit, he let me live at his house for a short time to get myself centered. I appreciated that. He also gave me a job at his furniture store.

Apologizing (sort of):
My last few memories of him include being at a large McCarrol family event 20 years ago and having my 9-month-old baby Danny with me, whom David met and held for a while. He told me that he could tell I was a good mother and that he knew he had not been the best parent.

Closing:
He was very fortunate to pass peacefully while sitting on the couch watching an old western on TV. That’s a great way to go! My thoughts are with you Jeff, Sherry, and Jacque during this strange time; all of you are such great people. I hope these memories have brought some laughter and comfort to you. I love and miss you all.

Although I met David late in his life, I had the opportunity of living with him and Jacquelyn for over a year and to assist him with medical appointments and the like, while Jacque traveled to Israel (a trip that he was supposed to go on, but due to medical issues, could not). I cooked for him, and he mostly liked my cooking, but was sure to tell me otherwise too! We had lots of laughs, and he was very generous, always wanting to buy me something when I did a favor for him (not necessary), but he always offered. My sons and I helped him move into the Pahrump house and we barbequed at his new home. Jacque and I would go out there occasionally and camp on the floor, in order to be company for him and do household chores. He was a proud former Marine and loved to tell stories of that time in his life, his furniture business, his family and friends (always embellishing the stories, I am sure)! He had a great laugh and we always enjoyed hearing it. He also loved Buck and Jacque very much. David, may you rest in Peace. You are Home now! Loving thoughts, Camille

David McCarroll called me son. I will always remember how his face lit up when he began to share one of his many stories with me. I am a witness that he confessed with his mouth his love for Jesus Christ and that Christ was his savior. I only got to know him for a short time, but his memory will always be with me throughout my life with the blessing of his daughter who’s hand in marriage he allowed me. Let us remember David the Marine, the father, the businessman, the athlete, the friend, the child of God. He was much more than just these things, but this is just to name a few. I know your heart. The reason I know is because you taught your daughter, my wonderful wife, how to have a loving and tender heart. You were a good man. You will be missed.

Phillip Boler

"You"

You would take a homeless person into your own home, feed them, clothe them, try to find them work and then give them money to help them on their journey when they left.
You were passionate about serving the country as a United States Marine. You were as optimistic as they come and loved your country with a deep passion.
You lost your mother at the young age of 12 which created a little bit of a hole in your heart. That hole had some rough edges. But as the years went by, as the running of constant water smoothes a rock, those rough edges gave you tenderness, compassion, understanding and the desire to always forgive others.
You made great home-made noodles, award-winning lobster Newberg and superb beef stroganoff.
You could scream really loud when you got your feelings hurt or your scrambled eggs were over-cooked, but you could be as gentle as a fawn on a snowy Christmas morning.
You were smart as a whip and knew it. You could write a poem that painted such a vivid picture in a readers mind that they felt as though they were a part of the story.
You had a contagious laugh, you whistled well and pulled on your eyebrows when you were deep in thought.
You lettered in three sports in high school, got excellent grades and then later attended Frank Lloyd Wrights school of architecture. But the most important thing is, you love Jesus.
So many things...wonderful and unique things about you....too long to list here. Finally, you had a family that always loved you and always will love you. Forever in our hearts dad. You get the award.. #1 Dad. Semper Fi. Jacque
