David Grindley, born on September 20, 1966, in Alliance, Ohio, passed away on July 16, 2025, in Beloit, Ohio. He was a cherished son, brother, uncle, and a beloved friend.
David graduated from West Branch High School in 1984 and furthered his education at the University of Akron. David spent a portion of his career as a bank courier while living in Florida, and after returning to his roots, he contributed his skills to his family's business while maintaining his Real Estate license. His commitment to his profession was matched only by his devotion to family.
David had a profound love for classic automobiles and relished spending time with his family, particularly his nieces and nephews, who brought him immense joy. His playful spirit and infectious laughter will be fondly remembered by all who knew him.
He leaves behind his loving parents, Dean and Darla (Rockwell) Grindley Jr., his brother Dean (Brenda) Grindley, and his sister Dana (Eric) Meek. He was an uncle to his nieces and nephews: Michael, Mason, Cami, Jake, Kylie "Toots", Kendall (Brandon) Huskins, Kaylee, and Luke. David is also survived by his aunts, Debby Grindley and Sherrill Rockwell, as well as his uncle Doug Rockwell. David's faithful companion, his dog Ollie, will surely miss him.
David was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, Florence and Gale Rockwell, paternal grandparents, Dean and Dorothy Grindley Sr., his uncle Joe Rockwell, and his aunt Cindy Rockwell.
