David R. Hall
http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/valleystar/obituary.aspx?n=david-roy-hall&pid=153036619LAGUNA VISTA, TX.- David Roy Hall, 54, went to be with the Lord on Friday, August 5, 2011 at Valley Baptist Medical Center-Harlingen after a 2½ year battle with melanoma cancer. David was born in Ontario, NY on July 29, 1957 to Edward and Adasa Hall. He graduated from Ontario High School in 1975 and was employed by Coleman Hall & Heinze Insurance as vice president since 1988. For the past 22 years clients could count on his honesty and integrity. He was always available to help answer questions and give sound advice that helped others better plan for their futures. David was previously employed by Troy Giles Real Estate, Inverness Resorts, Prudential Insurance Company and Genessee Brewing Company. David was an active and dedicated member of Christ's Harbor Church in Laguna Vista and a member of the Port Isabel Rotary Club for more than 10 years. He served as its President in 1993-94. Two of his greatest joys in Rotary were building the children's play ground at Andy Bowie Park, as well as laying the sidewalk at the Boys and Girls Club in Port Isabel. David's love for his community and church, as well as his contagious smile, helped inspire many of those around him. David was an avid sports enthusiast. He enjoyed fishing, playing golf, and his most recent passion was to kite board on the waters of the Laguna Madre as well as Hood River, Oregon and the Dominican Republic. David's wife and children were the joy of his life. They spent many wonderful vacations together as well as quiet evenings simply enjoying each other's company. He was a dedicated husband who treasured watching the sunset and taking golf cart rides with Maria. His friends could always expect him to lend a listening ear, give them calm assurance and make them laugh. David is survived by his wife, Maria Hall of almost 25 years; his father, Edward Hall; daughter, Nicole Hall; son, Edward Hall; brother, Alan Hall and wife Diane; nephews, Andy, Jeremy, and Kyle; niece, Robin; sister-in-law, Annette and husband Mark Turner; nephew Caleb; and niece, Rachel. He was preceded in death by his mother, Adasa Hall. A Celebration of Life Memorial Service will be held on Saturday, August 13, 2011 at 2:00 p.m. at Christ's Harbor Church in Laguna Vista.
