David A. Oloff

David A. Oloff, "Big Bird," aged 68, of Eastpointe, Michigan, entered into eternal rest on February 2, 2024. Born in Detroit, Michigan, on July 15, 1955, to the late Virginia and Raymond Oloff, David's warmth and presence were a comfort to all who knew him.
A graduate of East Detroit High School, David pursued a life marked by industriousness and a hands-on approach. He was revered for his talents as a skilled craftsman in DIY building, remodeling, and refinishing, which he parlayed into a successful career. For nearly two decades, David served the City of Warren as a Sanitation Engineer, from which he retired in 2021.
Beyond his work, David was a man of many passions. His love for the outdoors was evident in his enthusiasm for fishing, boating, and camping. David's joy was most profound when surrounded by his family, with whom he shared life's most significant moments.
David's spirited personality and his colloquial wisdom, often expressed in phrases like "Go with the Flow," "Yada Yada Yada" and "Pushing Corn," will be fondly remembered by those who loved him; especially his sayings that resonated with a touch of humor during family events.
The Oloff family mourns the loss of a loving father to his son, Thomas Oloff; a caring brother to James (Pamela), Suzanne (Robert) Shelton, Donna Jean, and Richard (Lynne); and a cherished uncle to Matthew (Kate), Erin (Joe), Zachary, and Amanda (Kevin), along with many treasured great-nieces and nephews.
David's spiritual life was nurtured at St. Paul of Tarsus Catholic Church, where he participated in the community and found solace in faith.
