January 24, 1947 – March 28, 2020

It is with a heavy heart we share that David McCall, a Director with Abernathy, Roeder, Boyd & Hullett, P.C., passed away on March 28, 2020. Dave was an outstanding attorney, father, husband and friend. He practiced law since 1972, serving the Collin County community with exemplary service and, most of all, an open and giving heart. Dave gave his time, effort, and financial support to countless charities and individuals in need, with a particular passion for supporting our area school districts. With a great and quick sense of humor, Dave could brighten any conversation and always gave you the feeling he sincerely cared. It was an honor to know him and he will truly be missed. We send our thoughts and prayers to his wife, Sharon and their extended family.

“We originally contacted ARBH for the formation of our company. Since then, they have handled contract negotiations for us as well as winning in a court case. As we have grown and evolved, what I have valued most about our relationship is that they make a personal, concerted effort to ensure our matters are handled appropriately.”
