David Couch

David C. Couch, 73, formerly of New Brighton, PA, passed away peacefully after a lengthy illness on December 29, 2025, under the care of Gateway Hospice and Beaver Valley Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center, Beaver Falls, PA, the place he called home for over four years.

Born January 31, 1952, David was the eldest child of the late Carl and Juanita Couch. He was a 1970 graduate of New Brighton High School, and he was an "Oak Hill boy". He spent many years managing and owning gasoline/service stations with towing services and working on automobiles as a mechanic. He took great pride in the last station he had owned on Route 18 in Big Beaver, "Dave's Sunoco". He had also worked at B&W and was a long-haul truck driver before his health declined. He faithfully sent postcards home to his parents as he traveled around the country. He was a dedicated son and helped to provide care for his aging parents prior to their deaths. David was a lover of the sport of car racing and had, in the past, owned and raced his own cars. From an age before he even had his driver's license, he began to purchase numerous vehicles, repair and repurpose them, and sell them only to purchase another one. He had more vehicles in his lifetime than anyone can remember or count. He was also an avid football and Steelers fan.

David was an "old soul" and always had a penchant for being a father figure, doling out advice to his five younger siblings. He was loved and will be missed by those surviving siblings, Rebecca (Mark) Weatherly, Arizona, Tim Couch, Ohio, Mark Couch, Virginia, Tom (Judy)Couch, New Brighton, and Mary Beth Burnsworth. He is also survived by four nephews, Shane, Troy, and Brent Weatherly, and Tom (TJ) Couch; four nieces, Shannon Blair, Christina Clark, Tiffany Gagliardi, and Rachel Burnsworth; as well as numerous great nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents, Carl and Juanita Couch and great niece, Addison Grace Gagliardi.

As per his wishes, there will be no visitation or viewing and his remains will be cremated.

Memorial donations, if desired, may be made, in his name, to a reputable charity organization that supports Parkinson's disease or kidney disease, or another charitable organization of choice.

You are at peace and treasured memories will be forever in our hearts.
