David Dodge Obituary
11/20/1944 - 01/01/2024
Dr. David Child Dodge III died peacefully January 1st, 2024, at 79 in Denver, Colorado. A fourth generation Denverite, David was the great-great-grandson of Colonel D.C. Dodge, early Colorado railroad pioneer. He was graduated from Colorado Academy, the University of Chicago, and the University of Colorado School of Medicine after which he pursued a career in general medicine. A renaissance man of letters as well as science, he had a lifelong passion for the great works of antiquity often spending his free time studying ancient Greek and Latin texts. Although he was a child of the Rockies, he had a deep love for the ocean often spending his vacations in Coronado, California. Always a devoted husband and father, he is survived by his wife and Colorado artist Madeleine Ann Dodge and three loving sons, Jason Tomory Dodge of Los Angeles (Jennifer), Alexander Leeman Dodge of Tokyo (Satoko), and John Constantine Bentley Dodge of Montpellier, France; his brother, Donald Kunz Dodge of Denver (Jana); four grandchildren, David Oliver Dodge, Sumire Coco Dodge, Charlie Madeleine Dodge, and Rosanna Lucienne Dodge; as well as his cousins and many close, life-long friends. Funeral services will be held 10:00am Wednesday, January 10th at Good Shepherd Catholic Church, 2626 E 7th Ave Pkwy, Denver.

David and I practiced our Italian language in emails for several years. I was amazed at his eagerness and capacity to learn and relate his learnings to the events around him. He always sent me a Latin or Greek email about the Risen Christ lives on Easter, and then his "Beware the Ides of March!" on March 15ths. He always answered a puzzling question by "What would Sulla do?" Such a joy. His sweet wife, Madeleine, sang with us in Good Shepherd's choir and I wish her and all the family peace at this time of sorrow.

David and I worked together quite a while at Kaiser. He was always available and cordial when I needed help. When we were just chatting, he had some amazing stories and interesting books on his shelf along with cherished family photos. It was a pleasure to know him.
