David Hoover Obituary
69, of Goodyear, AZ sailed away on June 9, 2011. David was born in Rochester, Indiana on October 29, 1941 and moved to Arizona as a child. Though he spent some time living in California, he later moved back to Arizona where he retired. David was a true adventurer and never one to sit idle. His love of sailing, traveling, and sense of adventure and wonderment of nature brought endless joy to his life. David is preceded in death by his parents, Charley and Sally Hoover. He is survived by his best friend and wife of 26 years Patricia, his son Christopher (Genie), granddaughters Eden and Colette, his brother Tom, and sister Gretchen Bathgate (Bob). David's gentle spirit and caring, loving heart will be greatly missed by all who knew him. A memorial service will be held on Wednesday, June 15, 10:00 AM, at St. Peter's Episcopal Church, 400 S. Old Litchfield Road, Litchfield Park. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to Hospice of the Valley, 1510 E. Flower Street, Phoenix, AZ 85014.

Pat, David and I were roommates in San Diego in the late 70's and always good friends even when we lost touch. We had so much fun in those days and the thought that he is gone creates a huge void in my life memories. He was the best, you were lucky to have him, just as I was.

We are so very sorry for your loss.
