David's zest for life and infectious laughter left an indelible mark on all who knew him. His journey through life was one of dedication, joy, and boundless love.

His role as an uncle was one he cherished deeply, and his many nieces and nephews will carry forward the laughter and lessons he imparted.

David's academic pursuits led him to Elizabethtown College, where he earned his bachelor's degree in Biology. His career path, culminating in his role as an Environmental Supervisor for Pacific Gas and Electric in their Natural Gas Distribution division.

An embodiment of the motto "work hard and play hard," David approached every aspect of life with vigor and enthusiasm. He loved anything with a motor that went fast, especially his motorcycles. The roar of an engine was often the prelude to another adventure, a shared moment of excitement and freedom.

David's legacy is one of love, laughter, and generosity. His sense of humor was a beacon of light, and his generosity knew no bounds. He was a man who lived life to the fullest, embracing every moment with a smile and an open heart. His spirit, a blend of kindness, humor, and warmth, will continue to inspire those who were fortunate enough to have known him.
