David was the beloved husband of Marian for 40 years, and their union was sealed on May 27, 1983, at the National Shrine of the Little Flower in Royal Oak, Michigan.

He was also a cherished uncle to many nieces and nephews, including Nicole (Gary) Leverich. David was the son-in-law of Danny and the late Sharon Briggs.
David dedicated 25 years of his career to Beaumont and another 23 years to Ford Motor Co. Research and Engineering, retiring on March 1st of this year. Outside of work, he had a passion for music, playing guitar, bass and singing with his band. His faith was a cornerstone of his life, with rosary and scripture being a part of his daily routine. David was an outstanding father and grandfather, and he lived every day for his family. He instilled a love of books in his children and grandchildren and had a particular fondness for Star Wars, Star Trek, C.S. Lewis and baseball. He always made time for his daughters as they were growing up, especially during their cherished Easter brunches.

I am so sorry to hear of David´s passing. David and I grew up in grade school together. We caddied at the same golf course. He was always in good spirits. I am glad that I was able to see him at our 50th reunion. May God bless him and his loved ones he left behind.

My heartfelt condolences to David's family & loved ones. As Tom Hull mentioned, David ALWAYS had a smile on his face. I was fortunate to spend time with him at our 50th class reunion back in September at The Heathers. It was truly delightful to talk with David and share memories. Gone too Soon; but a life well lived & He will be sorely missed. Respectfully, Colleen M. Klemet

Our family is truly heartbroken over David's sudden passing. He has my husband's best friend (since Kindergarten) his bandmate, and a brother from another Mother. David has always been known to us, as well as to many, to have such a kind heart and a generous, loving soul. Heaven has gained a true angel ~ We will miss David immensely! ~ May you rest in peace our dear friend~ Love, Tim, Diane, Sheryl and Zoey McDonough
