David Ray “Dave” Kisamore, 77, a resident of Harrisonburg, passed away on Thursday, August 29, 2024 at Yoder House at VMRC.

Dave was born in Harman, West Virginia and was a son of the late Granville and Sylvia Mae Harper Kisamore.

David was a dedicated learner and hard worker. His academic journey, marked by his valedictorian honors in high school and graduation from Eastern Mennonite College in 1969, paved the way for his diverse career. His professional life was as varied and vibrant as his personality, transitioning from a teacher to a lab technician at Rockingham Memorial Hospital, and finally a sales manager at Coldwell Banker, now known as Funkhouser Reality. He was also a proud member of Gideons International. David’s passion for service was further exemplified by his mission work in Malawi, East Africa from 1969 to 1972 with his first wife, Nancy.

Outside of his professional and service life, David adored sports and square dancing. His love for these activities was only surpassed by his love for his family. David touched many lives with his warmth, kindness, and engaging personality. Not only was he friendly and warm, but he enjoyed getting to know everyone he met on a deeper level, developing many friendships over the years.

On July 19, 1969, he married his first wife, the former Nancy Ann Driver who passed away on December 6, 2006. On May 31, 2008, he married the former, Sharon Louise Lambert who survives.

Surviving in addition to his wife, are his children, Travis Kisamore and wife Bekii of Chambersburg, PA, Lindsay Horst and husband Michael of Harrisonburg; siblings, Joyce Strawderman and husband Richard of Mathias, WV, Kenneth Kisamore and wife Joyce of Terra Alta, WV, Eunice Kerns Clevenger of Medina, OH; grandchildren, Esperanza Kisamore, Theo Kisamore, Josiah Horst, Ellie Horst, and Joshua Horst.
