David's Obituary

It is with great sadness that the family of David Jesse Guffey, Jr. announces his passing on August 11, 2025 at the age of 56. Dave joined the United States Marine Corps immediately following high school where he was stationed at Camp Pendleton in California. He earned college credits while in the Marines. After the Marine Corps he returned to his hometown of Honeoye, New York where he secured a position with the town of Richmond Highway Dept.

After 20 years of maintaining the roads and plowing the snow in New York, he decided that it was time to move on to warmer weather in the Sunshine State of Florida where he secured a job of truck driver/heavy equipment operator for the past 10 years. Dave had many interests and activities outside of work including scuba diving and boating, but fishing was his favorite pastime.

He is survived by his parents David Jesse Guffey, Sr. and Lydia Elizabeth Sommer Guffey, one brother Michael Shawn Guffey, and his children David Jesse Guffey, III, Melinda (Doug) Duncan, his Beloved Partner Joy Smith, as well as aunts, uncles and cousins.
