David Healey Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
David, along with his sisters Andrea, Margaret, and Kay Healey enjoyed growing up in East Salinas before the family moved to South Salinas. David attended Hartnell College for 2 years before transferring to Sacramento State University and obtaining a Business Degree with a concentration in Insurance in 1980. While at Sacramento State University, David met his future wife, Lindy. They were married in Sacramento in February 1984.
On July 1, 1984, David and Lindy relocated to Salinas where David began a 41-year-long successful career with Healey Mortuary. David was promptly recognized for his caring and compassionate way with families, along with many hours of dedication to the details of each family's arrangements. As his reputation for serving families' funeral needs grew so did Healey Mortuary.
David and Lindy had 3 children: Chris Healey (Molly) of Laguna hills, Jennifer Healey of West Sacramento, and Mike Healey (JuliAnne) of Salinas. David has 3 grandboys: Owen Healey (8), Luke Healey (6), and Hudson Healey (3).
David derived hours of enjoyment playing with his dog, camping, going to children's sporting events, along with supporting local teams. GO GIANTS! GO SHARKS! David was a talented builder. As a hobbyist, he built everything from birdhouses and Adirondack chairs to fences and decks.
David will be missed.
The Healey family would like to extend a heartfelt Thank You to all who participated in Dave's care. The professionals at Salinas Valley Health, the Nurses who provided such excellent care at the Infusion Center, and especially Dr. Geetha Varma and her staff at the Cancer Center. Our family is also very grateful to the caring staff at Healey Mortuary.
A "Celebration of Life" will be held at LCGS - Good Shepherd Lutheran Church at 580 Larkin St. in Salinas at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, May 3rd, 2025. All are welcome.

We have fond memories of helping David with his woodworking projects with the VBS children at Good Shepherd. These projects were a favorite for all the children. We will miss you, David. Now may you RIP.

My deepest condolences on David H. I can never forget the attention the service that he gave us in 2001 when my son died of a brain aneurysm there was a first time that I have met him one to one he was an amazing man 7 weeks later we were back to meet with him over the death of my husband and again the most wonderful men was with us helping me make arrangements and putting his arms around me to consult me he knew me as Miss Mary because I told him you can call me Mary, and then every time that I would go for a funeral of you and he would see me he would always greet me he never forgot what I went through I pray to God that the Lord will bring peace and comfort in the loss of Mr David to the family may the Lord bless you all from the youngest to the oldest in this family.
