David Lawrence Calhoun, Jr., 68, of Goodlettsville, Tennessee, passed away on Monday, December 9, 2024, in Nashville, Tennessee. Born September 5, 1956, in Corona, California, he was the son of the late David Lawrence Calhoun and Sue Marie Caves. Dave was a man of many talents and passions, leaving behind a legacy of love and creativity that touched everyone who knew him.

A proud member of the United States Army, Dave dedicated his life to serving his country, which was a testament to his patriotic spirit. He carried this dedication into his professional life as a respiratory therapist, where he provided compassionate care to those in need. Throughout his journey, he was known for being generous, always prepared for any situation, and a source of strength for his family—often described as their "knight in shining armor."

Dave's interests reflected his vibrant personality. He had an immense love for photography, capturing moments that would bring joy and nostalgia to those who viewed them. His expertise in computers showcased his creative aptitude, while his passion for motorcycling provided him with a sense of freedom.  His passion for motorcycles was fulfilled through CMA (Christian Motorcycle Association) and as a member of the American Legion Riders.

He was a devoted member of Life Point Church in Clarksville and held a 15-year membership with Middle Tennessee Tres Dias, where he found community and fellowship, embodying a life lived in Jesus.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his son Jacob Calhoun.

Dave unconditionally loved his family and is survived by his beloved wife of 36 years, Beverly Calhoun; his children, Joshua Calhoun, Heather Calhoun, Philip (Marina) Calhoun, David (Shandi) Calhoun, and Alyssa (Jordan) Bales; his sister, Julie (Glenn) Carter; and a multitude of grandchildren: William, Donovan, Hailey, Charlee, Lacey, Faith, Reyna, Antwan, Benjamin, Emmett, Jacob, Noah, Harley, Maraya, Meadow, Philip, Jordan, Walker, Emmalyn, Nikolai, and two on the way. He also leaves behind two great-grandchildren, Araya and Genesis, who will carry on his memory in their young lives.
