David Rubini Obituary


Was born in Ontario, Canada, and died November 17, 2011. He was 19.

David was a 2010 graduate of Kennett High School where he captured images of school life for the newspaper. He was attending Delaware County Community College in the Liberal Arts program.

He had an ear for music, whether listening on his iPod or making music at the piano. Music brought joy to David. His dogs were another source of joy. He loved Winston, Rocky, Bear, Remy, and Louie.

At the age of 16, David became a volunteer firefighter with the Kennett Square Fire Station No. 24. He enjoyed training, going on calls in response to emergencies, and the camaraderie of his fellow firefighters. He also enjoyed making campfires with friends and helping neighbors with their outdoor chores.

In his too short life he touched many people; David was a warm, caring young man with a wonderful sense of humor and an amazing heart. It makes his passing incomprehensible.

David was predeceased by his paternal grandparents, Joseph and Maria Rubini. He will be lovingly remembered by his father Michael and his mother Jane; maternal grandparents John and Ruby Peeling of Oshawa, Ontario Canada; Uncle Frank Rubini and his wife Debbie of London, Ontario Canada; Aunt Mary Beeton and her husband Ed of Oshawa, Ontario Canada; his first cousins; Adam, Kyle, and Julia Rubini, Kathryn and Jason Drews; and many, many friends.
Peace David.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be offered at 10:30 am on Wednesday, November 23, at St. Gabriel of the Sorrowful Mother, 8910 Gap Newport Pike, Avondale, PA, 19311. Friends may visit with the family on Tuesday evening from 4 to 8 pm at the CHANDLER FUNERAL HOME, 7230 Lancaster Pike, Hockessin. Interment will be in London, Ontario, Canada.

In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to the Kennett Square Fire Department, 301 Dalmatian Street, Kennett Square, PA 19348.

David was one of Tyler's best friends in elementary and middle school before we moved away, and they kept in touch afterward. We were all so saddened to hear of your loss. I pray that in time your pain will be lightened by the knowledge that David will live on in the hearts of all the friends whose lives he touched. He was a wonderful and very talented young man.

Mr. & Mrs. Rubini, I am so deeply sorry for your loss. My son Michael and your son were good friends and fellow fire fighters together. From what I knew of David, he was always a sweet boy and always brought fun and laughter everywhere our son's went together. Its completely unthinkable the amount of pain you must be feeling. Your son was very loved and will be very missed.

Mike & Jane...we are so sorry for the loss of David. We were fortunate enough to get to know David by having him travel with us to Jalonga a few times. He always brought a huge smile and a helping hand as we worked with this village to help make it a better place. David will be missed by many. - Doug & Bruce

Dear Mike, Jane et al,

I remember David as a child with a smile and warm heart for everyone. One could see his love and appreciation for family and relatives, even at a young age. How heroic of him to desire and act on being part of a profession that helps people, even by risking one's own life.
I can see that he would love dogs, and how they would love him back. It is appropriate that his fire Department was on Dalmatian st - the name of a dog that everyone loves.
I will gladly pray some special prayers for you and for David, especially this month, as the Church devotes every November to pray for souls.

With deepest sympathy,
Kieran M.

We do not know your family but we know the pain you are feeling as we lost our 17 year old grandson, Ryan in February. There are days when you feel like you can't go on but you learn to take one day at a time. Your memories, pictures and stories and reliving the joys and good times you had together have holped our family cope. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. God Bless You All.

Dear precious family, I know this is a difficult day and I will be praying for each of you. 2 Peter 3:8 says that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day. So you are not saying good bye to David, you are saying good night and I will see you in the morning. As you are saying goodbye, someone is saying hello with open arms!

Sincere sympathy,

~Larry & Dee Brock~
