Mr David C Bickley Sr

David C. Bickley, Sr., of Tollesboro, went to meet his savior and friend on August 30, 2014 following a five year battle with pulmonary fibrosis and subsequent lung transplant in 2012. David was born on June 25, 1952. David was a loving and caring husband, father, pap-paw, and friend. David was an elder at Plumville Church of Christ. He never met a stranger and would be at your side for support and prayer in time of rejoicing and time of need. David worked hard, but also knew the value of time and family.

He retired from Carmeuse Lime after 31 dedicated years. He will be

forever missed and remembered by all those who met him. God has another angel now.

He is survived by his wife of 44 years, Pauline Applegate Bickley, daughters Melissa (Jeff) Redmond and Melinda (Joe) Hiatt, five grandchildren, Katie Redmond, Bryant Redmond, Jonathan Bickley, Andy Hiatt, and Cecilia Hiatt. He is, also, survived by his seven remaining siblings, Bill (Ruth) Bickley, Bernetta Sweet, Geneva (Henry) Kilgore, Donald Bickley, Joe (Connie) Bickley, Matthew (Rena) Bickley, and Mark (Janet) Bickley. He loved so many nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends alike. Pallbearers will be Bill Bickley, Joe Bickley, Matthew Bickley, Mark Bickley, Joe Hiatt, and Bryant Redmond.
