Obituary: David Lawrence Lacock, 83, The Dalles

David Lawrence Lacock, 83, passed away on April 14, 2026, in The Dalles.

He was born on May 21, 1942, to Lawrence and Mary (Lamb) Lacock in Fall Creek, Oregon; the youngest of five children, he grew up in The Dalles and graduated from The Dalles High School in 1960. He played Football and Baseball for the Indians and lettered in both sports.

He joined the Oregon National Guard with his brother Ted in 1961, and he served until 1966.

He was an OSP Trooper from 1964 until 1970. He became a Wasco County Deputy Sheriff from 1970 to 1980. He retired from Wasco County in 1980, and worked numerous jobs throughout his later life; Martin Marietta, drove a long-haul truck with his son Darren, and most recently, a security guard at the Google site until his final retirement in 2023.

He married Marcia Lynne Palo on August 1, 1964, and they raised their sons, Jon and Darren, in The Dalles.

A beloved father and mentor, he thoroughly enjoyed fishing and camping. Some of his favorite activities were the annual father-son camping trip to Rock Creek Campgrounds in Wamic, space 27, and his trips up to Port Angeles. He was also what we joked about as a ‘tinkerer’ with his various projects and tools. He loved traveling to Pendleton to throw down on some poker. He had a great love for animals, and we know his dog Maggie misses him terribly.

David is survived by his wife, Marcia, at home; sons Jon Lacock and his wife Karrie of Port Angeles, Darren Lacock and his wife Joey of Dallesport, and Scott Lacock of The Dalles; eight grandchildren, Kanysah, Sierra, David, Dieryon, Marissah, Mathew, Tyler, and Andrew; six great-grandchildren, Kaiden, Xhaiden, Bennett, Blayke, Ceílí, Tate, and a great-grandson due in October of 2026; numerous nephews, nieces, and cousins.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Lawrence and Mary, brothers Herb, Jim, Ted, and sister Doris.

At his request, no service will be planned.

He is very much loved and very missed.

In 1961, Alta and Lester moved to The Dalles, where they established their home and raised their family. Following Lester’s retirement, they spent several years in Yuma, Arizona, before returning to The Dalles in 2024.
