David Michael McCawley, 57, of Jeffersonville, Vt passed away in his home Saturday afternoon, August 26th, 2017, with his wife Judy by his side.

 

Fondly known as “Squatch” he was passionate about his family, friends, music, and life. Living large in the Northern Green Mountains of Vermont, he created an immense network of relationships through Paint Contracting, Ski Instructing at Smugglers’ Notch, growing up on the ocean of Southern Massachusetts, and through his love of music especially the Grateful Dead.

​

He had a one of a kind personality that was infectious, impactful, and inspirational. He will always be remembered for having a wealth of knowledge, wisdom, and generosity, with which he mentored and guided many souls. His booming laugh and encompassing hugs will be missed tremendously.

 

For him please put love in your heart, peace in your life, music in your soul, and hug the ones you cherish everyday.

 

A Lyric by Robert Hunter, Music by Jerry Garcia

 

There were days, and there were days

And there were days I know

When all we ever wanted

Was to learn and love and grow

Once we grew into our shoes

We told them where to go

Walked halfway around the world

On promise of the glow

Stood upon a mountain top

Walked barefoot in the snow

Gave the best we had to give

How much we’ll never know

We’ll never know
