David J. Platz, of Sterling Heights, passed away on November 29, 2024 at the age of 63. David is the cherished husband for 36 years of Trish; the loving father of Tyler, Cody, and Briana; the beloved brother of Jerry (Shannon) Platz; and is survived by his two dogs, Beemer and Berkley. David was preceded in death by his parents, Gerald and Virginia Platz.
David was a very positive person who was always smiling, and was an extremely hard worker. This helped him work up the ranks of Chili's Bar and Grill where he proudly retired after 30+ years. He was also a fighter. He fought through many health issues throughout his life and amazingly stayed positive through it all. He will be dearly missed.
