David Anthony Jacomet

David Anthony Jacomet, 80, of Winchester, Virginia, passed away at home on January 24, 2026, with his wife, Maude, by his side. He was born on May 31, 1945, in Kansas City, Missouri, to Melvin and Lucille Jacomet.

Dave grew up in Falls Church, Virginia, and attended St. James Catholic School. He graduated from Bishop Denis J. O’Connell High School in 1963 and went on to Georgetown University, where he was a member of the Delta Sigma Pi fraternity. He earned a Bachelor of Science degree in business in 1967 and participated in Air Force ROTC. Following graduation, he served four years on active duty in the United States Air Force as an auditor and accountant.

Dave married Marcy in 1965, and together they welcomed five daughters over the next ten years. He spent most of his career with the Internal Revenue Service and was able to retire early, which allowed him cherished time with Marcy before her passing.

In 2010, Dave married Maude in Winchester, Virginia. They built a life grounded in simple joys: working together in the garden and yard, taking daily walks, and cooking meals side by side. Over the past several years, Maude devoted herself to his care and loved him fiercely.

A man of deep and quiet faith, Dave lived with purpose and humility. He had a lifelong commitment to ministry within the Catholic Church, visiting the sick and bringing Communion to the homebound in Leesburg and Falls Church. He attended daily Mass with Maude at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Winchester and, until the COVID pandemic, was a regular visitor at the Winchester Senior Center. He also volunteered at Sunrise Senior Living in Leesburg.

Dave was a devoted Georgetown and Big East basketball fan. He coached his daughters’ basketball teams, offering steady encouragement from the sidelines. He served on the Falls Church City School Board and was a longtime member of High Point Pool in Falls Church.

In his free time, Dave enjoyed matting and framing photographs, working in his yard, and tinkering on small projects in his basement workshop. He valued good conversation and time spent with family and friends.

Though soft-spoken by nature, Dave was a steady and gentle presence in the lives of those who knew him. He had a special way of making each of his daughters feel uniquely loved, often teasing each one that she was his favorite. It was Rachel. He will be deeply missed and fondly remembered.

Dave was preceded in death by his first wife, Marcy Houck Jacomet; his brother, Tom Jacomet; and his parents.

He is survived by his wife, Maude; his five daughters, Laura Van Landingham (Reneau), Katie Clinton (Neal), Susie Poindexter (Tom), Rachel Dienna (Nick), and Karen Dixon; ten grandchildren, Anne Toma (Brandon), David Cesnik, Matt Cesnik, Abigail Clinton, Hayley Swestka (Rob), Calvin Poindexter, Nolan Poindexter (Skye), Charlie Dienna (Angel), Morgan Dienna (Kirstin), and Tyler Dienna (Paige); and five great-grandchildren, Olivia, Jackson, Riley, Oliver, and Briella.

A visitation will take place on Friday, February 13, 2026, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. at Murphy’s Funeral Home, 1102 W. Broad Street, Falls Church, Virginia.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, February 14, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. at St. James Catholic Church, 905 Park Avenue, Falls Church, Virginia.
