David Kisiah

April 15, 1948 - April 1, 2022

David Barkley Kisiah, 73, of Charlotte, died on Friday, April 1, 2022, under the care of Harris Hospice at Novant Presbyterian Medical Center in Charlotte. David was born on April 15, 1948, the son of Orman and Mary Simpson Kisiah. David lived a simple life surrounding himself with many joys. One of those joys, his wife Ruth whom he met at the tender age of 14, loving one another in marriage for over 52 years. Their devotion to one another stands as a beautiful testament of love to all who knew him. Another joy was David’s infectious passion for fishing, spending many days anywhere he could cast a line! A man who fishes because he loves to fish is a happy man and David’s laugh, smile and sense of humor are proof of that! David loved to keep a pretty yard and tend to his garden. As someone who enjoyed lending a hand and helping those in need, it’s no wonder he grew so many vegetables, just to share them with all he knew. David’s biggest joy was the pride he felt for his son, Robbie. As a loving father, he wore his son’s company shirts almost every day, spending time at job sites to lend a hand and share laughs with the crew. He spoke his son’s name in smiles and will rest proudly leaving his legacy within him. David will fondly be remembered by his family and friends as a no-nonsense, charismatic man who loved his family deeply. David is survived by his wife of over 52 years, Ruth Kisiah; his son, Robert (wife Cassie) Kisiah; a grandson, Kason Kisiah; and a sister, Esther Edwards. David is further survived by numerous other relatives and friends. He was preceded in death by his parents, two brothers and two sisters. David’s family has given the family of Lowe-Neddo Funeral Home the privilege of caring for him and for them. A memorial service led by his lifelong friend, Pastor Steve Triplett, will be held at the funeral home at 2 pm on Friday, April 8, 2022. Friends may call upon the family from 1 pm until the time of service. Following the service, all are invited back to Robbie’s house for fellowship and refreshments.
