David Monroe Van Hoy III
January 22, 1940 – July 24, 2020
Beloved husband, father, and grandfather David Monroe Van Hoy III passed away on Friday, July 24th, 2020 after spending 80 wonderful years of life on this earth. He was born in 1940 to David Monroe Van Hoy Jr. and Frances Sutton, and raised in North Carolina, where he met his beautiful wife Lorraine, before moving to Maryland and starting a family of three lovely daughters, and later many wonderful grandchildren. A jack-of-all-trades, he was a bookbinder and worked for the CIA before pursuing a career as a real estate broker and opening his own real estate business, which became a staple of the Calvert County community. After retiring, he and his wife spent their time RVing to warmer weather, creating lasting memories.
David is survived by his wife Lorraine Howell Van Hoy, with whom he spent nearly 58 loving years, and his three daughters and seven grandchildren: daughter Lori (Yvette) and grandson Caden, daughter Diane and granddaughter Tara and grandsons Matt and Douglas, daughter Sandy and grandson Devin and granddaughters Kelsey and Taylor. He is also survived by brothers Frank (Cindy) and Bill (Barbara), and his sister Mary Ann (Charlie). He was preceded in death by his brother Kenny.
In lieu of flowers, contributions in David’s name may be made to The Salvation Army or St. Jude Children’s Research Hosptal.
The services for David will be live steamed on the Rausch Funeral Home Facebook page on Friday at 9:55 A.M. Services will begin at 10:00 A.M.

Lorraine, to you and the family,
It was a sad moment when I learned of David’s passing. I could not help but revisit the three or more weekly visits to Van Hoy Real Estate for all those years, where we all shared many laughs and actually got to do some serious real estate business! Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time.

David was a kind and gentle man . Whenever we sat around talking over various topics he always wanted to understand a point of view particularly if it differed from his. His dry sense of humor was abundant especially when he sat with his brothers or friends. His pride and love for his family was apparent in all that he did. We will miss David and offer condolences and happy memories that we have shared with him.

You will be missed I have no doubt but I know you will always be watching over all of your daughters, family and Loraine. You were LOVED ❤️. I am forever grateful to have had you and the entire Van Hoy family in my life. Sandy was and will always be my best friend. The Van Hoy family will always be MY second family!

Van Hoy Family, all of you attended my mother’s funeral on February 26, 2020. Never in my wildest thoughts did I vision myself attending David’s Funeral this week! We played together as children and stayed in each other’s home, oh the good times we had! We parted ways when we became of age, but I never forgot your friendship and kindness! I’m going to be with you this week and always know that I love each of you with all that is in me! It’s sad loosing family, but God’s plan cannot be changed, our only recourse is to continue to March hand and hand with Jesus until he calls us home!

Sandy and family, I have heard it said – We will all pass away from this life, according to the Good Lord’s plan, and it is the bonds we cement with our relatives and close friends, molded by the character of the life of the loved one now gone, that gets us through the grieving period. From the Nam Knights of America MC, Old Line Chapter please know we are here for you in this very tough time. May you find peace in celebrating your Father’s life and comfort in his entrance through Heaven’s gate.
