David Andrew Jardine
February 19, 1937 — August 16, 2017
David Andrew Jardine, age 80, of Mountain Home, Arkansas, died at home from Lewy Body Dementia, on Wednesday, August 16, 2017. He was born February 19, 1937, in Des Moines, Iowa.
David is survived by his wife, Linda McCollough Jardine; their sons, Eric and Alec; Alec's two sons, and Alec's two grandsons. David is also survived by his son, Curtis Gentry, from a previous marriage, who was raised by an adopted father, but reconnected as an adult. He is also survived by his brother, Wallace Jardine of Mountain Home and sister Mary Anna Jardine of Cedar Falls, Iowa.
David is preceded in death by his daughter, Beth Lynn, who died at the age of 23.
David earned a Bachelor's degree from Drake University and a Master's degree from the Citadel in Charleston, South Carolina. He served in the military forces as a paratrooper in the Army and as a regular line officer in the Navy. He had command of the USS Luzerne County LST 902 for a year in VietNam. He retired as a Lieutenant Commander in 1980, and then he set up his own heating and air conditioning business in the tri-valley area, east of San Francisco. From there, he and Linda moved to the Napa Valley, where he taught English at the local junior college and aboard Navy ships through the PACE program. David is also the author of six books.
Dave was a fortunate man in many ways - having a supportive family, many golfing friends, 39 years of sobriety, and good insurance.
Friends are invited to a memorial gathering on Saturday, August 26, 2017, from 1:00 to 4:00 pm, at the home of David and Linda - 1819 Fairway Drive, Mountain Home, Arkansas.
Arrangements are by Kirby and Family Funeral and Cremation Services.
