David Cross Obituary

December 17, 1946 - September 22, 2022 It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of David W. Cross of Newport Beach, California. David died on September 22, 2022, at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas, surrounded by his family, after a six-year battle with cancer. He was 75.
David was born December 17, 1946, in Seattle, Washington, to John and Ruth Cross. Raised and educated in Southern California, David devoted his career to healthcare, founding many successful healthcare companies, including Advanced Rehabilitation Resources and Intensive Healthcare. He retired at age 65, pursuing his twin passions of golf and traveling the world with family and friends. He will be remembered by all who knew him for his work ethic, humility, kindness, and generosity.
David is survived by his loving wife of 30 years, Maureen; his children, David and Kathleen Cross; and grandchildren, Riley, Frederick, and Jack Cross. A beloved husband, father, grandfather, and friend, he touched so many people in many special ways.
A memorial mass will be held at Our Lady Queen of Angels Catholic Church, 2046 Mar Vista Drive, Newport Beach, California at 11:00 a.m. on October 7, 2022.
