On Saturday, June 20, 2020, David Dale Cosner Sr., 64, of Pasadena, passed away at Baltimore Washington Medical Center. Dave was born on June 24, 1955, in Baltimore to the late Dale and Ethel Cosner nee Hart and grew up in Curtis Bay.

Dave graduated from the Baltimore Polytechnic Institute in 1973 and attended University of Maryland Baltimore County where he earned his BA. Later in life, he attended University of Maryland University College and earned his MBA. For seventeen years he worked for the University of Maryland as the Assistant Director of Operations & Maintenance.

Dave was a devoted member at St. John’s Lutheran Church in Linthicum where, for years he served as Stephen Minister. He spent his free time at his local Ravens Roost, listening to music, reading biographies, crabbing, and cooking. He was a proud PGA marshal and softball umpire, but most of all Dave loved spending time with his children.

He is survived by his son, David Dale “Buddy” Cosner II, his daughter Anastacia “Stacia” Wallis nee Cosner and her husband Chris Wallis, his sister, Carolyn “Sue” Price, nephew, Jeffrey Price Sr., niece, Terri Price, along with their children and grandchildren.

A memorial gathering will be held on Tuesday, June 23, from 2-3PM and a memorial service at 3PM at Singleton Funeral & Cremation Services, P.A. The family is strongly encouraging online condolences, and in lieu of flowers, please send a contribution/donation to St. John’s Lutheran Church in Linthicum, or the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic we are only allowing 40 people inside the funeral home at one time and requiring masks for all visitors. His children are planning a larger memorial at some point in the future when restrictions are lifted.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
