RIP: David Eldon McCubbin, 73, of Overland Park, KS, passed away at KU Medical Center February 5, 2018. Born in Peculiar MO, on Aug. 4, 1945, to Tommie Eldon McCubbin and Ethel Marie Byrne, Dave was a lifetime KC Metro area resident. Dave graduated from Shawnee Mission West High School and attended Emporia State University and University of Kansas. Dave served in the US Army as a tanker in the European Theater from 1966-1970. Dave was a lifetime pianist, playing at various venues in the KC area. His musical talents, ready wit and terrible jokes will be missed by all who heard him. Dave had several notable accomplishments, but two were his special pride. His induction in the Jazz Hall of Fame in 1999 was one. The second was a 50 year affiliation with the 6th Army Men's Chorus. Every two years Dave would attend reunions throughout the United States, and his absence will be felt by all. Dave desired a private interment with Military Honors but also wanted a Celebration of Life in his memory. McGilley and George Funeral Home are handling arrangements.
