David Shieber Obituary

David Louis Shieber, son of the late Edward Louis Shieber and Marilyn Stoddard Shieber, unexpectedly passed away on the morning of June 10th, 2021 at his North Naples home in Florida at the age of 68. He was a loving and devoted husband and a fiercely loyal and caring friend. Dave's time on this earth touched so many of us who will always remember his dry wit and silent strength. A passionate sailor and golfer, his two favorite places were on the water and inside the fairway. A retired Yacht Broker, Dave was a graduate of Newington High School Class of 1971, a proud Eagle Scout, a member of the Newington Volunteer Fire Dept. for many years and was also a Certified Computer Technician. He leaves behind his wife Debra; sister Marilyn 'Lynn' and brother-in-law Fred Sullivan; brother Bruce and sister-in-law Margaret Shieber; nieces Maya Shieber; Suzanne and husband Andrew Duca; Emily and husband Mark Murphy; along with six grand nieces and nephews and several cousins. Services will be private and held at the convenience of the family.

OMG... but can´t believe he´s gone. I attended Elizabeth Green Elementary School in Newington, CT. David Shieber was my elementary through middle school crush. We wrote to one another for at least a year after I moved to VA in the 9th grade. We reconnected when I moved back to CT in 1983. Had a wonderful dinner together and then lost touch for another 20+ years. In 2006, out of the blue... Dave located me through Facebook and convinced me to meet him for dinner in Sarasota. He was driving a cute little convertible and hadn´t changed a bit. We had a wonderful time reminiscing about days gone by... mistakes we´d both made in life and what `might have been´. I´m so sorry to learn of his passing albeit 2 years after the fact but I´ll always treasure our `puppy love´.

It's a bit quieter around the neighborhood without Dave's active management of our community. He and Deb were one of the first I met at Wedgefield and good friends since. I am reminded of Dave's presence whenever I see all the people he impacted and the positive additions throughout the neighborhood. Miss ya bud.....

Since the first grade at Elizabeth Green, to becoming Eagle Scouts together, and staying in touch over the years, Dave has been more like a brother to me than just a friend. I still find it hard to believe he is gone so soon. Thankfully I was able to spend a wonderful weekend in Naples last month with Dave and Deb, and Gary and Jayne. I will cherish that and all the memories over the years.
