David Felth Obituary
David Edward Felth, 66, of New Britain, passed away Thursday (August 17, 2017) at his home. Born in Waterbury, son of the late Donald and Vivian (Dorr) Felth, he was a longtime East Berlin and New Britain resident. A graduate of Wolcott High school, Class of 1969, he received a Bachelors Degree in Accounting from Central Connecticut State University (CCSU) and a Masters in Accounting from the University of New Haven. David was employed at local insurance companies and then for the State of Connecticut Department of Children & Families. He was a member of the Ancient Order of Hibernians and the Austrian Donau, both in New Britain. He is survived by son, Colin Felth of New York City and his partner Kayt Conti; a daughter, Molly Felth of Middletown; son, Mackenzie Rush Felth and his fiancée Claudia Perez, also of New York City; a sister, Elizabeth Holston of San Diego, CA; and several nieces and nephews, including niece Mary Elizabeth Holston of San Diego, nephew Owen O'Connor, and nieces Rachel and Susannah Parkin. Besides his parents, David was predeceased by a brother, Thomas Felth. A devoted and hardworking father, David valued the pursuit of education and was admired by those who knew him for his industrious nature. He encouraged his three children to pursue knowledge and adventure through activities such as berry-picking, camping, gardening, history, scouting, and yearly trips to the U.S. Open tennis tournament. He maintained a lifelong love of fatherhood, Irish literature and culture, and yoga and was dearly loved by family, friends, and those who met him. David will be greatly missed, especially among those who experienced his unique ability to inspire joy and goodness. A Memorial Service will be held Friday August 25th at 7 PM at Carlson Funeral Home, 45 Franklin Square, New Britain. Burial will be at the convenience of the family. Calling hours are Friday 5-7 PM at Carlson Funeral Home. Memorial donations may be made to the Ancient Order of Hibernians, 29 South Street, New Britain, CT 06051.

Just recently heard of Dave's passing. I hope it's not too late to add my condolences. I graduated high school with Dave, and although we lost contact after that, I have and will always consider Dave a good friend. He had a great spirit, and was always kind and gentile. He will be missed by all that knew him!

I was very sad to hear the news of David's passing. I worked with him for many years at DCF. We became good friends; talking together daily. I will miss him very much.
He was very proud of Molly, Mack and Colin. He talked about you often. When he talked about his children you could hear and see the love he had for his family.
I will miss our daily conversations and I will miss him.
God Bless David and the Felth family.

Susan, Colin, Mack and Molly, and family and loved ones.
Our hearts ache for you all. We always enjoyed David's sense of humor - loved his smile and laugh, and his company.
How sad he should leave so soon, but there's a reason for everything, you just have to believe. Easier said then done.
Joe and I send our love and hugs.

Dave was a co-worker with me at Mass Mutual. I remember him fondly and someone who was always there to help, and add a joke. I am so sorry to hear of his passing.
May he rest in peace and now watch over those he left behind

What a kind, gentle, smart and knowledgeable man. MOST of all was his fierce love for his children. They were his pride and joy. It was a pleasure raising our kids together and he was truly one of the "Fine Fathers of Berlin."
