David J. Waldron, a devoted father, accomplished professional, and man of faith, passed away suddenly on December 1, 2025, at the age of 54. He was born on April 3, 1971, in Edison, New Jersey. He moved to Howell, NJ in 1996 and then to Jackson, NJ in 2016. Dave was the son of William A. Waldron and Rose Ditski.
A successful professional electrical engineer, Dave took great pride in mastering his work. Known for his dedication, precision, and strong work ethic, he built a respected career grounded in both skill and integrity. He lived in Howell, NJ and Jackson, NJ since 1996, where he made his home and raised his family.
Above all else, Dave was a loving father to his four sons, who were the center of his life and his greatest joy. Whether on family vacations, sharing everyday moments, or simply spending time together, he cherished being present with his boys and creating lasting memories with them. Outside of work, Dave found strength and peace through prayer, trusting in God throughout his life. He will be remembered for his quiet strength, thoughtful nature, and unwavering love for his family.
Dave is survived by his four sons: Tristan, William, Robert, and Matthew; and sister, Lisa Waldron. Though his life was cut too short, his legacy lives on in the lives of his sons and those that he loved so freely.
He will be forever loved, deeply missed, and never forgotten.
