David Ciani Obituary

Published by Samaritan Funeral Home & Cremation Services-Phoenix on Dec. 22, 2016.
David Ciani Jr. was born in Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico on March 31, 1963 and passed away suddenly on December 22, 2016. He was a magnificent son to his parents, a wonderful grandson, husband, brother, nephew, cousin and uncle. David was very kind and tenderhearted. A gentle soul who was always willing to assist anyone in their needs and did so with inequitable gladness of heart. After completing technical college, he returned to his life's passion and career of being a disc jockey which he began in his teenage years in El Centro, California. In entertaining others he brought happiness and helped imprint many good memories, not only for his clients but for everybody in his life. David had an unforgettable laugh and loved making others laugh, he had a beautiful smile and he will be sorely missed. David is survived by his loving wife Maria Dolores Sugich-Ciani; parents David and Norma Ciani; brother Raymond Ciani; sisters Diana Cebuhar (Chris) and Norma M. Castro (Pat); nieces and nephews Jessica Cebuhar-Atwell (Brian), Tanner Cebuhar (Amy), Alissa Castro, Patrick Castro Jr. and Matthew Ciani, as well as many loving aunts, uncles and cousins. He was preceded in death by his grandparents Jose and Maria Dojaque, and uncle Eleazar Dojaque. A Funeral Mass was held on December 30, 2016 at St. Joan of Arc Catholic Church Phoenix, AZ. Interment at Phoenix Memorial Park.

David Ciani would DJ for the Bashas' Bakery Meeting every fall for the last 5 years. He brought a lot of joy to our events and was always so kind and helpful. We will miss him this year, as we were seeking him out and I am very saddened to see he has passed. I kept looking, as he was our favorite and we knew something was amiss. He will be missed and remembered by all our managers and myself.
