Age 54 of New Castle
Passed away on Sunday, June 2, 2024.
David was born in Wilmington to the late George and Doris (Baggs) Schwander. He grew up in New Castle with his seven siblings.
He loved NASCAR and always watched every race. David was also an avid Pittsburgh Steelers Fan. His favorite memories are times he simply spent hanging out with his friends and enjoying each other's company.
In addition to his parents, David was preceded in death by his brothers, Richard and Robert "Scoop".
He will be dearly missed by his siblings, Elizabeth, George, James, Deborah, and Carol; his nieces and nephews, Robert Dennis, Mario, Amber, A.J., Alexis, Tina, and William; as well as his close friends, Albert and James.
All services for David will be held privately.

We met when I was just 15yrs old. It was the night your ex was having your first child. There was a group of us that were very close. But I grew up and got married at 18 so we didn´t see each other much anymore. But I thought about our group often. Your laugh always made me laugh. You were the living breathing Peter Pan! Rest easy my friend I will miss you!

Uncle Doo,
Can't believe your gone. We lost touch a long time ago but whenever we met again it was always as if no time had passed in between. I will miss you and always remember our times together.
Love your niece,
Tina
