David A. "Dave" Tomlin Jr.

David A. Tomlin Jr., 46, of Pennsville, NJ, passed away on June 3, 2025, at Jefferson Einstein Hospital.

Born on August 3, 1978, in Salem, NJ, Dave was the beloved son of Phyllis Y. (Hogate) and the late David A. Tomlin. He was a graduate of Pennsville Memorial High School and went on to earn an associate degree in Criminal Justice from Delaware Technical Community College, followed by a Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice from Wilmington University in New Castle, DE.

Dave proudly served as a member of the Pennsville Fire Company for 18 years, holding the role of treasurer for many of those years. He was employed by DuPont for 25 years, most recently serving as Wilmington Area Site Security Chief. He also served for many years with the DuPont ESL Fire Company.

Of all his roles, Dave cherished being a husband and father above all. He found his greatest joy in spending time with his family-whether camping, relaxing at the beach, or cheering on his sons at swim meets and track meets. Dave is survived by his loving wife of 21 years, Andrea N. (Cicchetto) Tomlin; his sons, David A. and Anthony J.; his sister, Dina J. White (Todd); and his nieces, Marissa and Gillian White. He is also survived by a host of aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends-many of whom were more like family to him.

Although Dave never received the organ transplant he needed, he strongly believed in the power and importance of organ donation. He would want others to consider registering as donors-offering the gift of life, hope, and healing to those in need.
