WASHINGTON – The National Coalition for Assistive & Rehab Technology (NCART) is saddened to report that Jonathan David “Dave” McCausland passed away on Feb. 13, 2026, at the age of 68. McCausland retired from ROHO as vice president of government affairs after a distinguished career spent advocating for better access to life-changing medical equipment, NCART says. His work helped drive legislative changes that expanded Medicare coverage, improving the lives of countless people who depend on specialized seating and mobility solutions, it says. “Dave was not only a ROHO legend, he was also an industry legend,” said Todd Walling, president of Permobil Americas, which acquired ROHO in 2015. “He worked tirelessly to expand access and improve lives, and much of what exists today in our space carries his fingerprints. More importantly, he was a genuinely good man. He will be missed in a very real way.” Beyond his professional achievements, McCausland was a gifted musician, a devoted family man, and someone who brought joy, humor, and kindness wherever he went, NCART says. He is survived by his wife Kim, their sons David and Douglas, and a large, loving extended family, it says.
