ORIGINAL POST: Candy Cave, a long-time DJ and club manager in Dallas’ LGBTQ community died today (Thursday, Jan. 25), at the age of 68, at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences hospital following a years-long battle with cancer. She passed with her wife, Connie Mclain, at her side.
Candy worked for many years at several different bars in Dallas, from The Landing to Sassy’s to the Unicorn and most recently as the manager and DJ at Jugs. She left the bar business several years ago to work for Home Depot and had retired from Home Depot. Candy and Connie moved to Alexander, Ark., just outside of Little Rock to be closer to family.
Candy was preceded in death by her parents and her only sister. She is survived by her wife of more than 30 years, Connie Mclain; her nephew; Connie’s parents, siblings, daughter and granddaughters; her beloved dog Bailey, and by a host of friends who will all miss her dearly.
Watch for a complete obituary to be published in Dallas Voice . This post will be updated with information on services when that info is available.
Rest in peace, Candy Cave. We will miss you.

This is very sad news, May she rest in peace and rise in power. Love and special prayers for Connie
I remember Candy when she was a bartender at The Landing on Pearl. One of my best girlfriends had a crush on Candy. We had such fun during those days and Candy was always so kind to us. Rest in Peace!
Rest her soul. She was a good DJ back in the DISCO days at Sassy’s on McKinney. So many memories were had. It’s sad that to this day there is not a cure for cancer. The Universe is as One we all shall be a part of in our next journey. Love and Peace and healing for those Candy has eternaly touched the hearts of. May God give Connie and her dog everlasting memories of life and joy. And find comfort in each other. .
