STALCUP, David Michael (circa 1945-2002)
Police officer dies in the line of duty:
David Stalcup, 57, suffers massive heart attackA veteran McMinnville police officer died from a massive heart attack while on duty Sunday evening. The officer, David Stalcup, 57, was stricken around 8:30 p.m. Sunday while he was working on his daily reports at the activity center on Hamilton Street. Officers who had seen him a short time earlier reported the lawmen seemed normal before the sudden onset which claimed his life. Stalcup had been a lawman since the 1970s and had served with McMinnville Police Department since 1982. Prior to that time, Stalcup was with the city police department from 1970-75, serving a short stint with the sheriff’s office before returning in 1982. At the time of his death, Stalcup was assigned to the McMinnville Housing Authority patrol which is a federally-funded force working cooperatively with the municipal police force which concentrates its efforts on the housing authority section. The officers normally work shifts from 3 p.m. to 3 a.m.
According to McMinnville Police Chief Joe Melton, Stalcup’s participation in the housing authority precinct over the past few years brought about a dramatic reduction in crime in that area. “The patrol made a big difference in that neighborhood and David was a big part of that,” Melton said. “David was a good police officer. He did his job and would do anything he was asked to do. I really don’t know if anyone could ever fill his shoes. Our sympathy goes out to his family.” The sudden loss of Stalcup came as a bitter blow to his fellow officers and those in the community who knew him.
“He pretty much dedicated his life to law enforcement,” said McMinnville Police Captain Bryan Denton. “He was a special guy and you couldn’t help but like him.”
Stalcup was recently bestowed the honor of being named the Families in Crisis officer of the year, an award Stalcup told his friends was the first time he had been recognized during his long career in law enforcement. Long-time friend and co-worker, Sheriff Jackie Matheny, pointed out Stalcup was his training officer when he began his career with McMinnville Police Department in the mid-1980s. “I loved him like my own family. He was a tremendous man,” Matheny said. “He was one of the finest guys you’d ever meet. When I was shot, he was there to lend me support. That was just the kind of guy he was. There’s no way to replace a person like David Stalcup. He’s our fallen brother.”
