David Paul McCarthy

A graduate of Falmouth High School, David was one of three brothers and was proud to be the only one born in Maine. His life was filled with adventure, friends and family. From Falmouth, to Costa Rica to Italy, he made friends wherever he went. His heart was as big as the mountain he truly loved, Sugarloaf, where he worked at the Bag and Kettle and was an avid snowboarder known to all as “Davey." His skill as a cook and sous-chef in a frantic-paced restaurant was second to none.

David had a magnificent sense of humor, was generous and loving, almost to a fault. He was a great friend to many, lending support and love to those in need. His smile could light up a room, and he wanted everyone to laugh with him. Among the many things he loved passionately were his legions of friends; his dog, Kima; The Big Lebowski; and The Wire. He was a bit of an outlier in that he rooted for the Patriots, the Celtics, the Bruins and, because most of the family is from New York originally, the Yankees.

David is survived by his father, Kevin J. McCarthy and stepmother, Nancy Lund, of Falmouth; his mother Anne Ireland, and stepfather Kenneth Cole, also of Falmouth; his two brothers and their spouses, Charles and Julie McCarthy, and their daughter, Leah of Essex, Vermont, and Jared McCarthy and Brock Hollowell McCarthy of Brooklyn, NY; his stepbrothers Nick Lund of Washington D.C., Alex Lund of Stratton, Maine, Tristram Cole and his wife, Jennie Theriault, of Portland, Nick Cole and his wife Jessica Tillery Cole, of Scarborough, and Dorian Cole and her husband, Nick Morrill of South Portland; and his dog Kima.

A memorial service will be held at 2 pm on Saturday, October 25, 2014 at the Episcopal Church of St. Mary, 43 Foreside Road in Falmouth. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the David McCarthy Sugarloaf Seasons Pass Fund.

The family would like to acknowledge all the wonderful messages of support and love from the community.
