David Bethel Tull

David Bethel Tull, 65, passed away Monday, August 28th, 2017. He was born July 6, 1952 in Durham, NC the son of the late Charles Watson Tull and Phyllis Brown Tull. David is survived by his sister, Sally Tull Burns and brother-in-law Ronald Spreull Burns of Santa Barbara; and brother, Charles Christopher Tull and sister-in-law Molly Burton Tull of Charlotte, NC. David was predeceased by his oldest sister, Frances Melanie Tull.

David grew up in Charlotte, attended The McCallie School in Chattanooga, TN and graduated from South Mecklenburg High School in 1970. He graduated with a degree in Education from the University of South Carolina in 1974. David enjoyed membership in Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity and was a lifelong Gamecocks fan.

He spent most of his adult working life in Real Estate Development and Investments, primarily with Tull Enterprises. His true passions in life were his friendships and being in nature - hunting and fishing. His prowess was evident by many awards and citations. A lifelong member of Ducks Unlimited, David was a man of the rivers and the sea, especially fond of the Outer Banks and South Carolina low country areas. His greatest treasures were his friends and helping others, particularly when he spent weeks helping Katrina victims distribute food and water.

The family wishes to thank the heroic efforts of the Doctors and Nurses of the Grand Strand Medical Center and especially Carol Rodbell and Jim Cornwell. Words are not adequate to convey our heartfelt gratitude at the acts of service, words of encouragement and powerful prayer that sustains us all.

A memorial service to celebrate David's life will be held at Christ Episcopal Church on Monday, September 11th at 11:00 am. The Church is located at 1412 Providence Road, Charlotte, NC 28207.
