In
Memorial
Steven
"Dave" Macy
CA Licensed Land Surveyor (PLS 7033)
Born:
August 10, 1946. Died: February 16, 2002.
Dave Macy, a land surveyor at ProjectDesign
Consultants (PDC) in San Diego, was an inspiration to everyone around him. For
the past 10 years, Dave selflessly acted as a surrogate father for two
impoverished children in Mexico, Brenda and Danny. After meeting the children
begging on the streets, Dave immediately began providing financial and
emotional support to them from that day on. The children now live in an
apartment with full utilities, appliances and even a computer. Dave traveled to
Mexico almost every weekend to take the children to movies and help them with
homework.
Mr. Macy was born in Wayne, Michigan on
August 10, 1946. Mr. Macy died February 16, 2002 in an automobile accident in
Mexico. A memorial service was held to celebrate Dave's life on March 1st at
Eternal Hills Mortuary in Oceanside, California. A dedicated land surveyor for
the past thirty-five years, Dave moved from Oregon to San Diego in the late
1980's to pursue a career at SDG&E before moving on to ProjectDesign Consultants
in 1997. Dave was responsible for overseeing SDG&E contract surveying and
right-of-way work while at PDC.
While Dave will be remembered for his
accomplished career in land surveying, he will possibly be more remembered as a
selfless, thoughtful, soft-spoken gentleman who treasured his surrogate
children, airplanes, pipe smoking and lemon pie.
