David Ross Jiosa

David Ross Jiosa age 70 passed away on Sunday, December 27, 2025. His loving wife of 20 years Susan Jiosa, was by his side holding his hand as he made his journey home to Jesus.

He grew up in Huntington Indiana with his mom and dad Dixie and Tony Jiosa and 4 siblings before joining the Marines in 1972. He is survived by 6 children, 10 grandchildren, his sister Gina Simon, brothers Bruce and Terry Jiosa, 2 great grandchildren and many nieces and nephews; etc.

Dave had so many wonderful talents and passions. First his family and then his beloved guitar, vocals and drums. Where ever he was, he was either making someone smile singing with his fabulous voice or pickin' that guitar. He loved music and he loved making people happy. He was fun loving, funny, unselfish and kind to a fault with a contagious laugh and even more contagious love.

His last job was at Gulfstream, Savannah GA where he was in maintenance for 10 years and he retired to become a caregiver to his brother in law David Taber. These two were 2 peas in a pod and Dave always loved him like his own. They bowled together with the Savannah AMBUCS, and were always happy swimming together in the backyard pool. Drumming and playing darts was other hobbies the two would do together.

There are no words to describe the huge whole left in our hearts with the loss of this most beautiful soul. He is deeply loved and will be missed forever and a day.

Daves Celebration of Life is going to be April 18th, 10am at Bible Baptist Church in Savannah GA with lunch following. ALL family and friends are most welcome to come. Please contact Sue Jiosa via FB messenger so they can get a headcount for lunch
