David Buitron Obituary
David was predeceased by his parents, Cherie and Rudy Buitron and his brother, Norman. He is lovingly remembered by his siblings, Larry and Lisa. At the age of 19, David met the love of his life, Heidi. Together they shared a remarkable journey of 47 years, including 39 years of marriage.
A true Renaissance man, David possessed a wide array of talents and pursued many professions throughout his life. He worked as a professional chef, furniture designer and builder, and artist. His creativity and skill left an indelible mark on everything he touched.
David had a deep appreciation for nature and all its wonders. He found joy in the ocean and the Everglades and cherished activities like fishing and boating. His love for animals was boundless, reflecting his kind and compassionate spirit. Known for his sharp wit and humor, David brought laughter to those fortunate enough to know him.
A memorial service is planned for February 23, 2025 at the Garden Center in Birch State Park in Fort Lauderdale from 1 to 3 PM.

Dear Heidi,
I am sending you strength and support during this challenging period. Your Dave was a character. I thought of our fun times through the years: your wedding, art shows, trips exploring FL, our fall trip to the Northeast, and countless social events. Dave had the best sense of humor and loved animals, the arts, the outdoors, the Everglades, etc. He was a loving person, and he was the one who brought light and joy to your life. I know you will miss him immensely; unfortunately, time is our only healer. And that is not easy. I wish you comfort and peace in the days to come. Please know that I am here for you.
Love,
Toots

Dave had a great sense of humor and had a friendly demeanor. He always brought joyful energy when he would come help out at school or at gatherings. Dave was the kind of guy who jumped in to offer a hand without needing to be asked. He was a true gentleman!
It was obvious how much love Heidi and Dave shared between them whenever I was around them. Heidi, may the love you shared and the support of those around you bring you comfort especially on the extra difficult days. I know in my heart that Dave is not gone, just in a different form. He is now your guardian angel protecting you and bringing you strength as you adapt and carve out your new path.
