David Todd Darst

David Todd Darst, 66, of Louisville passed away peacefully on Monday, May 22, 2023, at Hosparus Inpatient Care Unit downtown.
He was born April 1, 1957, in Louisville, one of four children to Charles F. Darst, Jr. and Jacqueline Norrenbrock Darst.
David was a 1975 graduate of Trinity High School and received his bachelors in marketing from the University of Dayton in 1979. He had a 40-year career in sales and sales management, most recently holding the position of vice president of sales at Wolters Kluwer.
David was a member of Holy Trinity Catholic Church. He loved making memories with his family at their lake house on Lake Erie and enjoyed the Kentucky Derby and a great bourbon. David and his family were members of Hunting Creek Country Club where he played pickleball and golf and was the announcer for the swim team for many years.
All his life he was devoted to his family. Being there for his wife and children, and as their family has grown, stepping into those big shoes known as "Papa" to his three grandchildren. They were the light of his life.
With his sharp sense of humor, quick wit, and talent for being a jokester, his mission was to make someone's day better. He loved people and people loved him, he was everyone's friend. David will be dearly missed by all.
