David LEVINE Obituary

LEVINE, David M. November 23, 1955- March 6, 2014 Dave passed away suddenly on March 6th at his home. Born and raised in Spokane, he worked and lived a full, vibrant life here. Dave graduated from Ferris High School, earned a business degree from WSU, and went on to a 35-year career in finance and sales. He enjoyed over 40 years of playing rec-league soccer, snow skiing, everything about cars, and the camaraderie of golfing with friends. But most importantly, Dave loved people. The definition of care and compassion took on special meaning to those who knew how deeply he loved his parents, siblings, extended family, and his rich circle of friends and coworkers. All who knew Dave would surely attest to his immense generosity and how he relished entertaining others. Dave was cherished as the favorite uncle by his 18 nephews and nieces. Additionally, Dave was loved and respected by the children of his best friends. They were always eager to join him on the ski slopes, at car shows, hockey and basketball games. Dave invested much of his free time with them. One by one, they all soon discovered that he was a fun guy to be around. He was preceded in death by his father, Larry. He is survived by his mother, Peggy; sister, Carrie (Bauer); brothers, Dan (Stacy) and Pete (Sandy) Levine and their children. A celebration of life service will be held Saturday, March 15th at 2:00 p.m. at the Southside Senior & Community Center at 3151 E. 27th in Spokane. Friends and family are invited to join in and share favorite stories of their times with Dave. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Susan G. Komen Foundation for the Cure made in Dave's name.

I cannot imagine what Christmas will be like without Dave showing up with his delicious almond roca. He was a fabulous man. He used to chase us as kids with a fire extinguisher. He was a great soccer player. He was the best "uncle" a kid could have. Very sad to lose this man.

Dave, I still can't believe you're gone. Seahawks, Cougars, skiing, motorcycling, Gonzaga basketball games, cars, we did it all. You are gone too soon and I will miss you very much.

Dave was a big part of our life for 30 years. He was like a brother to us and an Uncle to our daughter and best buds with our dog. There is a big hole in our life now that will only be filled with all the wonderful memories that we have. Our thoughts and prayers with all who loved this wonderful man he will live on in our hearts.

Dave: I am blown away , you were the friend , who alway made me laugh , helped , teased , and all my kids loved you from the time they could talk and even named their fish after you when they were small. You were the glue that made 30 plus years of soccer the best part of life . The world has lost a beacon of goodness and joy.

Forever in in our hearts and memories and story's whenever your friend meet your memory will live on as long as we do , until we meet again.
