David Joseph Chirico, 62, of Atlantic Highlands, NJ, passed away on October 2, 2025, in Red Bank, NJ. He was born in Perth Amboy, NJ and later graduated from Middletown High School South and received a BA degree from Mount Union University in Ohio before settling in the Atlantic Highlands.
David worked in Sales Support for Stillwell-Hansen Inc. for 28 years where he had many long-time colleagues and friends. He was blessed by having an angel of an owner, Carol Stillwell, who was very helpful during his illnesses. David was a kind man who loved music and sports. He had lifelong friends from college who he never forgot. He loved his Catholic faith and practiced it daily. He was the guy you wanted on your trivia team. He will surely be missed.
Surviving are his two brothers, John Chirico and Anthony Chirico; two sisters, Suzanne Ciccone and Vicky Moore, and many cousins, nieces, nephews and great nieces and nephews.
David was preceded in death by father, John P. Chirico, Sr. and mother, Ida Chirico.
