David Lee McArthur

David Lee McArthur, 67, passed away at home with his loving wife and sweetie, Susan Marie McArthur of 25 years by his side on May 10th, 2026, after a short but brave battle with stage four Pancreatic Cancer.

He is predeceased by his mother and stepfather, Joan and Walter Shane; father, Donald E McArthur; brothers, Donald J McArthur and George McArthur; and his beloved fur babies, Maggie and Noah.

David is survived by his soulmate and wife, Susan Marie McArthur; children, Carmen (Cindy) Pecoraro, Samantha (Phillip) Ramey, Adam (Ashley) McArthur, Lindsay (James) Melillo, and Heather (Elon) Walter; nine grandchildren, including his beloved Atlas and Aria; father-in-law and mother-in-law, Carmen and Rosalind Santora; brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law, Steven (Pamela) Santora, and Linda (Craig) Crandall; step sisters, Lynn (Sam) Soussou, and Lisa (William) Levinson; and many nieces and nephews. He is also survived by his fur baby, Rozzy.
He passed just shy of getting to meet grandchild number ten, baby girl Ramey.

David was born in Rochester, New York, where he worked side by side with his wife, Susan, for many years before they later moved to sunny SWFL. David was an incredible man who cherished each and every member of his family. He poured himself into his family, especially his children, never missing an opportunity to be present for the moments that mattered most. He had a passion for music and was a self-taught guitar and piano player for over 55 years. He especially loved Pink Floyd. He was an amazing landscaper and gardener who always strived to have the best lawn on the street.

David was deep in his faith and walk with Jesus and drew much peace knowing he would rest in Heaven with Him after his battle. He will be deeply missed, and a Celebration of Life service will be announced at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in David's name to the Cape Coral Animal Shelter.
