David Allen Carnes Sr.

David Allen Carnes Sr., of Pleasant Hill, Missouri, passed away on October 5, 2026, at the age of 73.

David was born on January 31, 1953, to Asa and Lula Carnes in Harrisonville, Missouri. He was raised in Pleasant Hill, Missouri, and graduated from Pleasant Hill High School, where he was involved in FFA.

Following high school, David entered the workforce and built a career in commercial construction. Throughout his career, he worked for Ceco then  Wincenter and later Lytle.

Farming was a great passion of David’s throughout his life. During the 1970s and 1980s, he enjoyed tractor pulling with his hot rod tractor. He loved being outdoors, spending time in nature, and appreciating the simple things around him.

David was a quiet man who often kept to himself, but he deeply enjoyed time spent with his family. He especially treasured spending time with his grandchildren and playing games together. David also loved to travel, particularly to the beach. While he wasn’t one for swimming, he loved simply being there, taking in the scenery and enjoying everything the beach had to offer.

David was preceded in death by his parents, Asa and Lula Carnes, and his brother, Larry Carnes.

David is survived by his three children, Crystal and husband Rob, David and wife Kristina, and Megan. He was a proud grandfather to Ashlea (Scott), Colton (Nicki), Austin (Madison), Collin, Noah, Gage, Emrie, Eli, Elainna, Earl, and Asa, and a loving great-grandfather to ten great-grandchildren.

David will be remembered for his love of farming, the outdoors, traveling, and, most importantly, the time he shared with his family.

Funeral Services are pending and will be posted once available.
