Pastor David M. Hartley, 62 of Winchester, VA passed away Thursday, October 21, 2021 at Winchester Medical Center.
David was born in 1959 in Winchester, VA to the late Robert Marshall and Maude Lee Hartley. He was a graduate of James Wood High School, Class of 1977. He was Senior Pastor at Open Door Baptist Church, Clear Brook, VA since 2016. Pastor Dave enjoyed walking in the mountains and was an avid reader. Known as “Pap” to his grandkids, he absolutely loved and adored them. His dog Paisley also had a special place in his heart. His greatest joy was helping to bring others to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.
Over the last 30 years, Pastor Dave owned and operated Sunrise Builders of Northern Shenandoah Valley, LLC where he created lifelong friends and associates. The workers were more than that; they were family to Pastor Dave and he loved them all.
He married Donna Kay Brannon in 1977 in Winchester, VA.
