 David Carl Daugherty, 70
 February 05, 2024
David Carl Daugherty "DA" of Jackson, MS, formerly of North Adams MA, went to his eternal home on Monday evening, Feb. 5, 2024, at the age of 70 after a battle with cancer.
He is predeceased by his father Carl Daugherty, his brother Marvin Daugherty and sister Khalilah Karim-Rushdan.
David was chief engineer, "Chief", at the King Edward Hotel in Jackson, MS for many years until his retirement in 2021. He enjoyed fishing when the weather was good and spending time with family and friends. He loved watching westerns and horror movies and was known to take a road trip or two. He was kindhearted and thoughtful, always ready to lend a hand or give an encouraging word. David was joyful, always humming or singing a song or whistling a tune, with a smile on his face.
He graduated from Drury High, class of 1971 and enjoyed his 50th class reunion not long ago.
David is survived by his wife, the former Gloria Greene of Jackson MS, his mother Lois (Daugherty) Nelson of North Adams, his children Shannon Daugherty of North Adams, Aja (Daugherty) Callender of North Adams, Saniyah Uqdah of Baldwin, GA and Robert Nelson of Phoenix AZ.
David also leaves his siblings – Carla (Dennis) Holness of Ft. Lauderdale FL, Alex Daugherty (Susan Tassone) of Clarksburg MA, Jill Daugherty, Wendi Daugherty-Gore, and Terri Daugherty – of North Adams MA – as well as grandchildren, nieces, and nephews.
A celebration of life for David will be held locally at a later unscheduled date.
Alex & Carla, so sorry to hear of Dave's passing. Always loved hanging with you guys when we were younger. First met all of you at Sadie's camp at Duke's pond in the 60's. Miss those days. Dave was such a funny guy!

| One of the great things about growing up in the Houghton School area of North Adams was going to school and being friends with Dave. From kindergarten through high school it was always great to hang with Dave. Whatever it was, playing basketball at Houghton or hanging out after school he was just great to be around. Even though he moved away and we lost touch, I still think how lucky I was to have a friend like him. To Dave's family, keep your good memories of Dave, I know I will. | | from: Bill Flaherty | on: 02-22-2024 |
