David Lee Ong, 64, of Hurricane went to be with the Lord on March 4, 2012, at Hubbard Hospice House with his family by his side.
David was born September 2, 1947, in Charleston, a son of Millie Ong and the late Donald Ong. In addition to his father, he was preceded in death by his daughter, Erika Rae Tyler.

David is also survived by his loving wife of 32 years, Debbie Ong; daughters, Jenni Sutherland and Sarah Hartwell and her husband, Mike, all of St. Albans; sister, Donna O'Field of Daniels; brother, Thomas Ong and his wife, Barbara, of Charleston; and his best friend and life brother, Pete Lopez. Also left to cherish his memory are his five grandchildren, who were the joy of his life, Reese Sutherland, Jorden Hartwell, Chance Hartwell, Kailey Sutherland and Brinklee Hartwell.

David attended Greenbrier Military School, and was a graduate of Charleston High and a U.S. Navy veteran. Following in his father's footsteps, David pursued a successful career in the automobile industry. He retired from Joe Holland in 2003, where he served as import sales manager. To those who knew him, he will be remembered for his quick wit and wonderful sense of humor that he maintained until the end. He was an avid outdoorsman who loved to fish. He will be remembered for his love of God, his family and his enduring friendships.

The family would like to extend a special thanks to Dr. Steve Lewis; the nursing staff at CAMC Memorial; and the staff at Hubbard Hospice House for the exceptional love and care they gave David and his family.
