I am so sorry to hear about David. He was always such an enthusiastic movie critic in our movie group. It’s been three years now that we have been meeting virtually and you all would join us from wherever you were, even while on the road.
Read MoreI was deeply shocked and saddened to hear of David's passing. Dave came to Myers Park Country Club shortly after my arrival as the Tennis Director at the end of 1996. And he was a fixture at MP Tennis ever since. Over the many years, I spent about the same amount of time with him both on and off the courts.
Read MoreDavid and I had a cup of coffee together last November. My Text messages tell me that it was November the 11th. We spent an hour or so together. I think Zoe was arriving for some pre-wedding stuff and he left our coffee to pick her up. I was getting ready to open a coaching business and had reached out to David for advice, council, ideas and all the great stuff David brings wherever he goes….
Read MoreI'm so sorry to hear of David's passing. I hope the sun shines brightly on you and your family, and that you find peace.
It's been 20+ years since you and David graciously gave us your home for the night after our house fire. Not sure where you ended up that night but it was incredibly kind…

Read MoreMy favorite (or maybe most impactful) memory of David was waking up (as a little girl) to find a man at my dining room table reading the Charlotte Observer (the man really loved a newspaper). I slowly realized the man (whose face had not been revealed) had a very different physique and much darker hair than Joe. Little did I know, you were at the hospital with kidney stones, and mom was also gone, so I assumed David was my new dad…
Read MoreI met David 42 years ago and vividly remember that day. I had just moved from Texas and did not know a single person in Charlotte. Not a soul. Because of David, I was warmly welcomed into his social group. In fact, I know many of you here today because of David Yarborough. David was a connector…
Read MoreMost of my young life, growing up as the oldest grandchild of four adult children, I remember tall tales spun about the personalities of Dean, Marty, Charlotte, and the golden one- David. These tales were shared at our frequent gatherings, almost painting there four as caricatures of themselves, highlighting sibling goofiness, childhood character defects and talents, and Spartanburg culture…
Read MoreIt’s impossible for me to encapsulate everything I want to say about my dad. He had so many amazing qualities and taught me nearly everything I now know about what it means to be a good man. So let me break down a few of his very best qualities and how he exemplified them in his life….
Read MoreJust four months ago, I was spending a lazy spring week in Arizona rehearsing with my dad for the most epic father-daughter dance of all time.
