David L. Markell

I worked with Dave at the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation Office of General Counsel. He was a very talented attorney who could often see aspects of legal issues others missed. We also played on the office softball team, where Dave also displayed a lot of talent and heart. He was considerate, thoughtful, and ever so conscientious. May his memory be a comfort to all mourning his loss.

Professor Markell was a kind and selfless man who was simultaneously a great teacher. He made administrative procedures interesting- no easy task. He always had a smile and a kind word, was willing to help with Moot Court panels, and really took an interest in others. He will be missed, but appreciated for having been a part of my life.

My deepest sympathies, Jack and family. I am so sorry for the loss of such a kind and giving soul. I had not seen David for many years but followed his work, and often remembered him as one of the first people to befriend me when I moved to Delaware as a pre-teen. His leadership and kindness was evident in high school and clearly throughout his life. The world has, indeed, lost another angel. My condolences.

Regards to Jack, Carla and the whole family following the loss of Dave. Dave leaves a legacy of professional success, service to the greater community and most importantly a loving family. Please hold the memories of Dave close. And be inspired by his battle with brain cancer.

David, was a remarkable force at helping many, and a beloved classmate. RIP Dave. Your friend and NHS Class of 71 Classmate.

Dear Leni, Judi & Jack,
I could feel your sorrow and loss without a spoken word. My deepest sympathy for you and your families. You are in my thoughts and prayers. I wish I was there to hug you.
Love

In our high school days, Dave was respected as a top student, class leader, all-around athlete and a genuinely nice and caring person. It is not surprising that he went on to excel academically and in his career, to become active in his faith community and to become a devoted husband and father. He will be remembered for his kindness, generosity, determination and sense of humor. He maintained ties with Delaware friends through the years and always expressed interest in their lives and...
