On June 22, 2021, David Charles Etheridge left Lynchburg, Virginia and went to his eternal home with the Lord. He was born in Norfolk on New Year’s Day of 1960 to Elias and Christine Etheridge. He took great delight in 39 years of marriage to his beloved Darlene, and was blessed to have two wonderful children, Calvin Etheridge (and his delightful wife Meredith) of Lynchburg and Claire Phillips (and her fine husband Henry) of Falls Church, and two grandchildren, Caroline and Charles Etheridge. With degrees from the College of William and Mary, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, and Union Theological Seminary, he considered it a privilege to serve the Lord by pastoring churches in North Carolina and Virginia, including two in Lynchburg. In addition to his wife and children, he is survived by his brother Robert Etheridge (and his wife Nina Li) of Alexandria, sister Linda Etheridge of Chesapeake, cousins, nieces, and nephews.
A memorial service will be held on Wednesday, June 30, 2021 at Saint Andrew Presbyterian Church at 1 p.m. A private service of inurnment will precede the service.
In lieu of flowers, please consider a gift to the Saint Andrew Building Fund or the Blue Ridge Pregnancy Center. “Thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.”
