DAVID YUHASZ Obituary
DAVID ROBERT
Died peacefully in his sleep on Monday, December 29, 2014, after a long, brave, and relentless battle with cancer. He passed quietly at his home in Marietta, GA, surrounded until the end by his closest network of family and friends. Born in Pittsburgh, PA, on March 14, 1944, to Martin and Mathilda Yuhasz, David is survived by his wife, Sandra; his daughter, Kristi Yuhasz Gray; his son, David M. Yuhasz; his brother, Kenneth Yuhasz; his sister, Marsha Murphy; his four cherished grandchildren, Jordan, Macy, Garrett, and Emma; as well as countless other and no less important family, friends, and associates around the world. The consummate salesman, globetrotter, and bonafide workaholic, David began his long and distinguished sales and marketing career with Sears & Roebuck, ultimately leaving Pittsburgh to pursue an escalating series of positions with companies like Intex Products, Amrep, Inc., and Trafficair, Inc. He spent the last two decades founding and building both Intersearch, Inc., and Aerosafe Products, the aviation services company, which was his true passion and still thrives to this day. An unrivaled extrovert, diehard optimist, and professional goofball, David's gregarious nature and genuine interest in building lifelong friendships earned him an informal but well deserved title as "The Mayor" of his beloved neighborhood, Saddlebrook. David was truly a remarkable man, and his loss will be felt the world over. On Friday, January 2, 2015, and per David's last wishes, all services will be held on the grounds of St. Joseph Catholic Church, at 87 Lacy Street NW, Marietta, GA 30060. The family will receive visitors in the Church Lobby from 9-10 a.m., a Funeral Mass will begin at 10:00 a.m., followed by burial of David's ashes in the church's memorial garden. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made in David's name to Loving Arms Cancer Outreach, 833 Campbell Hill St., Suite 220, Marietta, GA 30060, www.lovingarmscanceroutreach.com.

I met David in April of 2014. Though our acquaintance was cut short by his passing, I consider myself fortunate to have met such genuine human being. One of superior integrity and a true joy to be in his company. Rest In Peace my friend.

I had the pleasure of working with David over the last two years as a rep for Aerosafe. My heart and prayers go out to David's family. David was one of the nicest people I have ever met...coupled with a wonderful sense of humor and ethics. He will be missed greatly.

In business, “fit” is a common buzz-word. From the day we began our partnership with David and Aerosafe, it was clear that we were a good match. As we worked with David over the years on various projects, we realized that David was probably a good match for anyone. He was friendly and open with everyone he met and he had an ability to put those around him at ease. Talking business with David on the phone or travelling with him felt more like friends getting together.
David Yuhasz will be fondly remembered by all of us at Kennon Products and our condolences to the family. Ron Kensey, President, Kennon Products, Inc.
Dear Sandy and family my deepest sympathies, David will be greatly missed by all, sorry I can't be there on this very sad day.

I was lucky enough to grow up with the Yuhasz family and what an incredibly loving, fun and caring family "Senior" headed. You were blessed to be friends with such a great man who loved his family, friends, career and the Steelers with such deep passion. Deepest sympathies to Sandy, Kristi, David, the kids and to all of us out there who will miss "Senior" dearly.

David was a rare person that went through life collecting almost everyone that crossed his path making them friends for life sincerely and honestly. We are truly fortunate to be among the people to have been in his path.
David will always be remembered as a friend, as an inspiration, and as a man of great faith and spirit whose full measure of both was never diminished no matter how life's battle turned.
May God bless and welcome David, he will be in our hearts our prayers and thoughts always
