David Fleming Obituary
March 1960 - June 2018
Oakdale (Cupertino) Resident
Our beloved David (Dave) passed away unexpectedly on Father's Day, June 17th, in Selma, CA. Our hearts are broken but we are grateful and our lives enriched beyond measure to have known him. Born in Buffalo, NY where he lived until 1969 when his family moved to Cupertino, CA. A graduate of Cupertino HS in 1978 where he played drums in the band, Dave earned a degree in Business Administration & Accounting at National University. Dave worked at JC Penney, Genus, and since 2004 at CPFD (Coastal Pacific Food Distributors) in Stockton, CA, where he was the jack of all trades from accounting manager to IT operations, becoming the quintessential 'go-to' expert respected and relied upon by all.
A resident of Oakdale, CA since 2003, he served on his local homeowners association board, and was an avid trapshooter of the CA Golden State Trapshooters Assn. for 20 years, serving as Treasurer and President, working countless hours organizing and coordinating many events.
Dave will especially be remembered for his "can do" ability to figure out and solve any problem, his "here's what you need to do" spirit, and his willingness to help you do it!
Always engaging, fun, and the consummate host, Dave loved to taste wine, cook, and travel. His positive presence will be in our hearts and memories forever! Thank you, Dave, for touching our lives with your love, friendship, and generosity! Here's to a good man and a life well lived. You will be missed!
Predeceased by his mother, Marjorie Metz Fleming, Dave is survived by his father Roger Fleming, brothers Roger Fleming Jr. (Susie) and Bruce Fleming (Donna), nephew Connor Fleming and niece Willow Fleming; the love of his life, Paula Hinshaw; dear fiends Rosemary Chivers and Cecelia Brown, and many, many friends and colleagues.
A celebration of Dave's life will be held on Saturday, July 14th from 1:00 to 3:30 p.m. in the parish hall at Saint Luke's Church, 20 University Ave., Los Gatos, CA 95030. Please send an email with your RSVP: [email protected]

I met Dave at the California State Shoot in 2005 and had the pleasure of shooting on his squad for a number of years. I have a lot of great memories attending the California State Championships with him at Kingsburg. He was a much appreciated fixture every year helping to run the office during the tournament.
I´m fortunate to have been able to call him a friend.
