David Neal Brutcher

David Neal Brutcher June 22, 1954 – April 27, 2025 David Neal Brutcher, 70, of Foley, Alabama, and formerly of Memphis, Tennessee, passed away peacefully at home on April 27, 2025, after a brief battle with cancer. Born in Nashville, Tennessee, David lived a full, spirited life. David attended Ridgeway High School in Memphis, Tennessee. During high school, he met the love of his life, Judy Lundy, and the two were married in March 1975, beginning a lifetime of memories together. David went on to continue his education at State Technical Institute in Memphis and later attended the Yale School of Business in Connecticut. David and Judy built a life centered around family, business, and adventure. Together, they owned and operated Aloette Cosmetics of Memphis and the Mid-South, where David was always the “Man of the Ball,” escorting Judy and all the ladies of their franchise to various work events. David also spent more than three decades as General Manager at Magnolia Paper and Janitorial Supply in Memphis, where he was respected for his leadership, loyalty, and steady presence. The water was a constant source of joy throughout David and Judy’s life together. From camping trips in the Ozark Mountain’s lakes and rivers with family and friends to Caribbean vacations, and many years spent living on a lake outside Bartlett, Tennessee, being near the water always brought them peace. In retirement, they fulfilled a lifelong dream by moving to the Gulf Coast, embracing slower days, and ocean breezes. David was preceded in death by his parents, Bud and Shirley Brutcher, his in laws, Dick and Jean Swann and his sister in law, Kay Redd. He is survived by his wife of 50 years, Judy; one daughter, Kelly McLure (Clint) of Collierville, Tennessee; one granddaughter, Ansley McLure and one grandson, Brady McLure, also of Collierville. He also leaves behind three brothers: Butch Brutcher of St. Augustine, Florida; Charlie Brutcher (Cathie) of Milton, Florida; and Wesley Brutcher of Hagerstown, Maryland; one sister, Carole Warrenfeltz (Daryl) of Williamsport, Maryland. A niece, Jamie Wright (Kevin) of Harrisburg, AR and her children, Jehlian and Drew. David also leaves his beloved pets, Ginny and Tedy. A celebration of David’s life will take place on Sunday, June 22, 2025, on the beach at Gulf State Park in Gulf Shores, Alabama.
