David Darragh, age 90, of Broomall, PA, passed away on May 10, 2025.

David exemplified the virtues of a long and well-lived life. His spirit resonated with kindness and gratitude, traits that endeared him to all who had the privilege of knowing him. David’s humble nature permeated every facet of his being, leaving an indelible mark on both friends and caregivers alike.

For nearly five years, David was a beloved member of Generations Life Care, where he received devoted companionship and care that enhanced the quality of his later years. His Care Managers, who frequently brightened his days with their presence, were not merely caretakers but friends who brought warmth to his heart; they would often delight him with chocolate—a small yet significant gift that encapsulated the sweetness of their bond.

David's absence will be deeply felt not only by those at Generations Life Care, who regarded him as a gentle soul deserving of the utmost compassion, but also by all who had the honor of walking alongside him during his remarkable journey through life.

Services and Interment are Private.
