David A. Hoadley

David A. Hoadley, 69, of Hop Bottom died at home on Monday, February 27, 2023, following a decade-long battle with cancer. 

He is survived by his best friend and beloved wife of over 46 years, Mona.  He is also survived by his daughter Cassandra Hutton of Matthews, NC and his son Travis of Washington, D.C., as well as their spouses Douglas Hutton and Daniel Hopkins.  David was a devoted grandfather to Addison and Carter Hutton of Matthews, NC.  He was the brother of Diane Norton of Nicholson and Carol Smith of Blythewood, SC, as well as their spouses Steven Norton and the late Philip Smith.  David was also the son of the late Jack and Dorothy Hoadley of Nicholson.  In addition, David is survived by many dear extended family members, including Mona’s mother and brothers, Janice Watkins of Nicholson and Gary and Mark Rice of Dallas.

David was a compassionate, comical, and steadfast presence in the lives of many.  Those that know him best will fondly remember his talent for fixing anything—electrical or otherwise—with creativity and his faculty for friendly conversation with anyone.  They will also miss his admirable personal ethics, unmatched bullshit detector, quick wit, and unwavering resolve.   

A celebration of his life will be held in the summer of 2023 for family and his many friends.  Details to come.
