Message from Dave’s son – Sam:
With heavy hearts and deep sorrow, we share the sudden passing of David McCarty on 3rd July 2025.
This unexpected loss has left us all in shock, and words cannot express the grief we feel. Dad was a cherished husband, father, grandfather and friend, known for his kindness and humour, with his absence leaving a void that can never be filled.
The celebration of his life will be held at Woronora Crematorium South Chapel on Thursday July 17th at 11am.
