Funeral Services for David A. Capon, Age 84 of Seymour, Missouri will take place on Tuesday, November 10th, 2026 at The Craig-Hurtt Funeral Home, Seymour, Missouri, beginning at 2:00 PM. Burial will take place in The Seymour Masonic Cemetery, Seymour, Missouri.
David Allen Capon, son of the late Raymond Capon and Frances (Buckman) Stroud, born December 3, 1941, in Olathe, Kansas, departed this life November 7, 2026, at Copper Rock Village in Rogersville, Missouri, at the age of 84 years, 11 months, and 4 days.
Shortly after his birth, David moved with his family to Southern California, where they lived until relocating to Seymour, Missouri, when he was ten years old. He entered the fourth grade at Seymour Schools, where he met Carolyn Brumback, the girl who would become his high school sweetheart and the love of his life.
A proud patriot, David answered the call of duty by enlisting in the United States Air Force immediately following high school graduation. He served his first two years overseas in Morocco before returning stateside. In 1962, David and Carolyn were united in marriage. They spent the remaining two years of his active-duty service stationed together at Little Rock Air Force Base in Arkansas. Following his honorable discharge, they returned home to Seymour to build their life. In 1965, they were blessed with their first child, a son, Tony; three and a half years later, they were again blessed with a child, this time a daughter, Tonya.
Following his military service, David began working for Dayco Rubber in 1964, dedicating 40 years of loyal service to the company before his retirement in 2004.
A self-taught farmer, outdoorsman, and gun enthusiast, David found his greatest joy in hunting, fishing, and spending time with his family and grandchildren. Affectionately known by many as “Ammo Dave”—because he could always find ammunition—he was well known as the oldest, slowest, and the absolute best ammunition advocate around. A man of faith, David was saved and attended Diggins Baptist Church for many years.
David was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Carolyn Capon; his parents, Raymond Capon and Frances Stroud; and his sister, Jane Micheri.
He is survived by his children, Tony Capon and wife Shelly, of Seymour, Missouri, and Tonya Minor and husband, John, of Strafford, Missouri; his sister, Delores Swearengin; three grandchildren, Dusty Capon and wife Sonjia, Brett Minor and wife Marissa, and Jordan Benanti and husband, Frank; and his four great-grandchildren, Ryder, Roper, River, and Frank David (expected to join the family later this spring and named after him), as well as many other relatives and friends.
David was a loving husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, uncle, and friend. He will be deeply missed by all those who knew and loved him but his legacy will live on in the hearts of many forever.
