David Yandrasitz Obituary

David L. Yandrasitz, 66, of Coplay, passed away on December 23, 2020, in his residence. Born in Allentown, he was the son of the late Frank L. and Hilda L. (Beslanovits) Yandrasitz. David was a 1972 graduate of Central Catholic High School. He went on to achieve his bachelor's degree from Bucknell University where he was a member of the Phi Kappa Psi Fraternity and his master's degree from Lehigh University. He worked for many banks during his working career. Most recently he was employed at First Commonwealth Federal Credit Union as a commercial loan officer before his retirement. David was a member of St. Peter's Roman Catholic Church in Coplay. He was extremely active in his fitness and loved to run, bike, golf, and exercise. He enjoyed driving around in his BMW. David always wanted to stay up on the latest electronics and enjoyed watching sports, especially baseball. He loved to talk and socialize with his buddies from Coplay, particularly on Wednesday nights at the Coplay Saengerbund where he was a member. David was previously involved in the cancer support community. What mattered most to David was his family, especially his two favorite nieces, Haley and Kayla. He was a devoted uncle who would never miss a single swim meet or field hockey game that his nieces competed in. He will truly be missed by all who knew and loved him. David is survived by brother, Scott Yandrasitz and wife, Lisa; nieces Haley and Kayla Yandrasitz all of Coplay. Due to current restrictions, services will be private at the convenience of the family.

Sad to see the passing of Dave. My condolences to all of his family.
We had many fun times together. I remember one really special time.
Dave got the use of the Bank's box at the Baseball Stadium in between
Wilkes-Barre and Scranton. The Phillies AAA team was still there at the
time. A bunch of us went, and it was great. Even had a meet and greet with some Eagles Cheerleaders. I also remember competing at Croquet, we had so much fun. Rest in Peace Dave.

Scott, Lisa, Haley and Kayla,

I am so sorry to hear about Dave's passing. I did not know him well, but when we did speak, I knew he was such a genuine person and that he truly cared about others. I know it is difficult, but in these tough and sad days, trust in the Lord that Dave is in a better place in heaven. Rest in Peace, Dave!

I met Dave in high school when we would play our annual Thanksgiving weekend game of tackle football on the Coplay athletic field (the Central Catholic kids would pit Coplay and Catty vs. Allentown). He was a friend for many years and he was truly a kind and sincere person.

While he was a client of my accounting practice, he always made time to personally connect with my children. We shared mutual clients over the years when he was affiliated with the banks.

Dave was a talented baseball player and golfer, but few knew that he was pretty good at croquet. In 1986, he won the coveted Shedlock Cup when the Lehigh Valley Croquet Club was affiliated with the US Croquet Association. His name remains engraved on the trophy to this day.

Donna and I offer our sincere condolences to Scott, Lisa and family. Dave will always remain in our hearts. May he Rest In Peace.

We didn't personally know David, but knew of his kindness to my sister, Ida. He was always there to give her any kind of help that she needed. Ida always spoke so lovingly and kindly of David. Our sincere condolences to his family.

Dear Yandrasitz family, my deepest sympathy for your loss. Dave and I were long time friends and , later in life, banking co-workers. We shared experiences that covered a lot of territory . A more friendly, honorable and genuine person would be hard to find. In recent years our reminiscing talks after church services at St. Peters left no topic untouched. Most importantly, his love for his nieces was always present. Dave, so sorry to lose you . May you Rest in Peace in the hands of Our Lord. Shark

Scott, Lisa, Haley and Kayla,
My sincere condolences on the passing of Dave. His love for you was boundless. Our conversations inevitably turned to you and particularly to Haley and Kayla. He was so proud of you and his eyes would light up as we talked. He was my dear lifelong friend. Growing up in Coplay with Dave was the very best of times that I will cherish. Now as my tears flow, I find it unimaginable that I won't be conversing with him about our mutual frustrations with our beloved Philly teams, Bucknell and college sports in general and just life in general. I miss you so much brother. I love you. Until we see each other again, RIP.
