David Michael Stegall's Obituary
David Michael Stegall, 56, entered his eternal rest on Tuesday, June 17, 2025. A service celebrating his life will be held at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, June 21, 2025, at Houston Baptist Church in Monroe, the congregation he loved and faithfully served. The family will greet friends at the church beginning at 12:00 noon. Interment will follow in the adjoining church cemetery.
Born on May 27, 1969, in Mecklenburg County, David was the son of Carolyn Mae Stikeleather Stegall of Matthews and the late Walter David Stegall. A proud graduate of Sun Valley High School, he built a successful career as a regional sales manager with Kubota, where his quick wit, steady patience, and genuine care for customers earned him deep respect and lasting friendships.
Whether on the golf course, casting a line, or charting a new travel adventure, David embraced life with an open heart and an infectious laugh. He was the first to lend a helping hand, the one cracking jokes around the table, and the steady presence family and friends could always count on. Fiercely devoted to those he loved, he served as a dedicated caregiver to his mother and rarely missed an event for his beloved step-granddaughters.
David is survived by his wife, Rheina Trexler of Indian Trail; his mother Carolyn Mae Stikeleather Stegall of Matthews; his brother, Todd Stegall of Indian Trail; his sister, Cynthia Stegall of Washington, D.C.; step-children, Cathy Spence, Joy Smith (A.J.), and Paul Lacarta; and step-granddaughters, Mia Smith and Paisley Lacarta. He is also remembered fondly by extended family, countless colleagues, and a wide circle of friends who will miss his generous spirit and warm smile.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Houston Baptist Church Missions Fund, PO Box 366, Mineral Springs, NC 28108, reflecting David’s lifelong commitment to helping others.
Davis Chapel-Stanly Funeral and Cremation Care of Monroe is serving the Stegall family.
