San Antonio, Texas
David Solis passed peacefully in his sleep on May 21, 2017 at the age of 55. David is survived by his parents; Gloria and Raul Solis; his siblings; Raul Solis wife Gerri, Rachel San Martin husband Dr. Roberto San Martin, Diana Rivas husband Ernest Rivas, and Javier Solis wife Veronica; Girlfriend; Dorothy Woodard; as well as his many nieces and nephews.
David graduated from John F. Kennedy High School in 1981. He would then go on to work for H-E-B for over 20 years where he brought many smiles to those that he worked with. After H-E-B, he would go on to be a custodian for the Northside Independent School District before devoting his time fully to taking care of his parents at home.
David was known for not only having a big and loving smile, but also having a warm and caring heart. You can ask anyone about David and will hear nothing but positive responses about the person he was. David was friends with everyone, making a lasting impression on each and every person that he met throughout his life. He was well known by his nickname, “Spanky”, and was always willing to share a laugh or a beer with family and friends. He was never shy to give a helping hand when it came to fundraisers or benefits involving his friends in need. Whether it was contributing his famous rice or taking command of the BBQ pit, David was always involved.
Family meant the most to David, especially his nieces and nephews which he cared for as his own. He will be missed in all of our hearts dearly and will never be forgotten. May he rest in peace and continue to watch over us in our daily lives.

I was fortunate to meet David at Kennedy, during a time when most of us were trying to figure life out Spanky was genuine, honest and funny. He never strayed from these qualities! Rest in peace David!
