David Coover Obituary

David Sansevero Coover

June 8, 1990 - January 13, 2014

Holly Springs

David Sansevero Coover, 23, of Holly Springs, died Monday, January 13, 2014. He was born in Sacramento, CA on June 8, 1990 to Raymond Merle Coover, Jr. and Rosana M. Caniglia Coover.

He is preceded in death by his father, Raymond M. Coover, Jr.

He is survived by mother: Rosana M. Thomas, and step-father: Aaron C. Thomas of Cary; maternal grandmother: Caterina Caniglia of Watertown, MA; brothers: Raymond M. Coover, III and wife, Alison of Fuquay Varina, and Robert A. Coover and wife Candace of Richmond, VA; sister: Erin M. Thomas of Cary; and nephew: Dominic Coover. He is also survived by his aunts, uncles, cousins and many, many friends.

David's kind heart and generous spirit made his years working at the Cary Family YMCA some of the happiest of his life. His compassion was further demonstrated through his missionary trip to Jamaica and most of all through his dedicated love for his little sister, Erin.

He was a unique and gifted young man who could always brighten the room with his smile and his charm. A North Carolina State University alumnus whose intelligence and love of science took center stage in his life, David's potential was unlimited. He enjoyed fishing and golfing, he was a lifelong Pittsburgh Steelers fan, he loved soccer, he loved music, he loved to make people laugh, and he loved his friends and family. The world was brighter for his presence, and the light he brought to all of our lives will never extinguish.

This obituary was written far too soon, as David had so much more to give. The contributions he made to the lives of all those who knew him, the lessons he taught us about love and respect and perseverance, and the joy he spread wherever he went, he did it all in a life that had only just begun. The incredible influence he has had on all of our lives and the wonderful memories we carry will keep David's spirit alive forever.

The family will receive friends from 2:00 – 4:00 PM Saturday, January 18, 2014 at Brown Wynne Funeral Home; 200 S. E Maynard Rd. Cary, NC 27511, which will be followed by a celebration of Dave's Life at 4:00 PM. In lieu of flowers memorial contributions may be made to the Cary Family YMCA's "We Build People" campaign.

Online condolences may be made to www.brownwynnecary.com.

A memorial bench has been installed for David and his dad at Wake Memorial Gardens in Cary, NC. The bench is on the left hand side underneath some trees. It is a lovely spot. I like to bring some of the messages posted here and read them out loud. Thank you for the kind words and for sharing your stories.
Another year has almost passed since David died and it is still hard to accept. My heart is forever broken.
David, I miss you and your dad so much. Until we are together again....
Love,
Mom

Dear Coover-

Tomorrow will mark 2 years since you died. Around this time, I remember you most. I'm sure that you wouldn't remember me- I was always a shy one, and I didn't come back to RSDC after 5th grade- but I will always remember you. You were my favorite counselor.

I remember you because you were always so kind to everyone, and you had so much advice to give. I remember that, one day, I had been crying, and you sat me down and cheered me up and then began to explain why you kept a penny in your shoelaces. (For good luck. I, too, started doing this, but I kept having to replace the penny, and in the end it got tiring.) I remember when you joined in on Pokemon/ YGO battles with the other kids. I remember when you kicked the soccer ball so high that it landed on the roof. I remember us putting mentos in coke bottles. I remember your dumb ghost stories. I remember you, and I miss you.

I also remember where I was when I heard the news. I was in the car, on my way to school, when the radio announced that a RSDC counselor had died. And I remember immediately thinking of you, and hoping upon hope that it wasn't true. As soon as I got to school, I ran to the library and checked. It was. There was your obituary, and a poem that someone had written. (I kept that poem and a penny in my binder for a long time. It's still in my backpack.) I cried and cried and the librarian thought I was crazy. I had to leave school early.

I remember wondering why someone so wonderful and happy had to die like this. My heart still aches. I hope, wherever you are, that you are in a happy place.

Rest easy, Coover. You are loved.

Coov-
Tomorrow will be 2 years since you died. Every year, around this time, I remember you and miss you more than ever. I remember the penny you kept in your shoe because you swore it was lucky. I remember you kicking a soccer ball onto the roof. I remember you joining in on Pokemon/ YGO battles. I remember you as the best YMCA counselor I've ever had.
Even after a few years of no communication, your death still shocked me. I still feel it, even now, how I felt the day I heard- I remember where I was, what I was doing. I remember the car ride on the way to school when the radio announced your death; but I had to run to the library and check and make sure it was you. It was. And I cried because I remembered the epic spaghetti war in the woods. And the time we put mentos in coke bottles. And when I got a nosebleed and you helped me out. And when I stepped in an ant hill and you and DJ carried me to the office. I cried and the librarian thought I was crazy.
I miss you a lot, Coov. You probably wouldn't even remember me, but I remember you. You were always so nice to me, and you gave the greatest advice.
I'm sorry that you had to go so soon.
Rest easy. You are loved.

June 24, 2015

Not a day goes by that you are not remembered for your kindness and heart. Rest in Peace David.

I'm so very sorry that I found out this late, but Coover you are one of the most inspirational counselors to me, you helped me through some tough times in my life, I still remember the countless days you spent teaching me how to play soccer & trade tips with me on how to play COD, but most importantly you were my best friend when I was a camper, I wish I could've hung out with you more, you have no idea how much you've helped me, I really miss you Coover, you will be remembered, not just by me but by everyone else you touched

I don't know you very well, but I deeply apologize that you passed away of a sudden. I'm not sure how you died but I do know that you're watching us down from heaven. So I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers, no matter what. The Cary YMCA staff will seriously miss you.

David was known as Coover in my house. My daughter, Andreia spoke of him all the time during Camp Rising Sun days at the YMCA and often after their camp days had ended. I loved having him and Derr and Nicole over as their laughter filled the room. Such a funny group of kids. YMCA kids are the best!

I am so very sad and sorry for your loss and the worlds loss as David was a bright light and a wonderful person and I shall always remember him in my heart.

God speed for your healing.

January 21, 2014

David was a friend of my son, Michael, in kindergarten at Our Lady of Lourdes School. I remember David being a sweetheart and a gentle soul. We are sorry for your loss and pray that you feel God's healing presence at this time.

Rosana,Robert and Raymond. I am so sorry that you now have to live without your David. One of my fondest memories of David is how proud he was to receive his bible, and the time and care he took to tab it. I know it is hard for you to believe right now, but the time will come (it does take hard work and many years and it's like being slam dunked and banged around in a basketball hoop with you being the ball) when the pain wont be so excruciating that it incapacitates you. I have thought about all of you often and you are in my prayers. I pray that you feel God's loving presence enfolding you right now.

David... David was my favorite counselor. He was a great mentor and a counselor but, he was an even greater friend. David will always be in my heart and will never be forgotten.

Aunt Rosanna and My Coover Cousins;

There had not been a moment gone by that I am conscience of, in which, I am not thinking of you all and the extraordinary sadness you all feel.

I know I have no words or answers and in times like these I reflect on those wiser and more courageous than myself as a source, any source of inspiration. Here are quotes I personally reflect on when I see no explanation or logic to an incredibly sad outcome in which I have no control.

"TO HAVE COURAGE FOR WHATEVER COMES IN LIFE – EVERYTHING LIES IN THAT." ~ St. Teresa of Avila

"You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, ‘I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.' You must do the thing you think you cannot do." – Eleanor Roosevelt

"There is within you, waiting to be called, a great source of power called courage. Call its name and it will give you the strength to overcome fear and uncertainty and the heart to continue with bold confidence despite the pain of disappointment and even tragedy."— Michael S. Josephson

I know that losing a child is the worst pain to bear; losing a son like David is incomprehensible. He was like a member of my family, my son's best friend, a welcome face at our home as he grew from a little first-grade guy hopping the bus with Steve in Chesney Glen to the incredible young man I will miss so very, very much. His heart and compassion and quiet manner and quick intelligence and wit … his loyalty and sincere, deep kindness in the face of our family's devastating loss of our son and brother … his calm, steady way of always being there and caring and knowing how to show it in such gentle, genuine ways … his beautiful spirit that now soars in all our hearts and memories … All this and everything else that David gave to so many of us will never be forgotten and always be cherished. My deepest wish for you is that you find strength and support from all who loved him, and that your sweet memories of David comfort you through the tears that now accompany your life's journey. I am so sad. I am so very sorry. I will forever speak David's name aloud and remember him. I know.

I have not seen David in many, many years, but I was his kindergarten teacher at Lourdes. He was unforgettable. At 5 years old, he had the sweetest soul (not to mention that adorable face). Some kids just warm your heart, and he was definitely one of those kids. My prayers are with your family.

How I have always seen him, loving others, that is his legacy.

January 18, 2014

David,
I am grateful that I had you as my co-counselor at the YMCA. My heart is broken that you are no longer here physically. My memory of you and the love you gave to others will always remain with me. I can still hear your voice comforting one of our kids, I can still feel myself getting hugged when I haven't seen you for awhile, I can still see you ninja diving during a dodgeball game. I will not take one breath, one beautiful starry night, one hug for granted because of you. I will choose to honor you by living my life in the here and now.

For me it will never be okay that you are not here and I will never allow you to be forgotten. Your name is David Coover, and in your name is wrapped up an amazing beautiful soul who stood for compassion, generosity, pure love, adventure, fun, and joy. Your life and work was not wasted, you made a difference, in a lot of lives, forever.

To David's family:
I am sorry this has happened, and although I do not know you personally, I love you, as I loved David and I pass my love onto you all in this time of great sorrow. You are all in my prayers day and night. May God help us all.

Love Always,
Amber Hart Damin

David was very special to our family and it was such a privilege to watch him grow from a tiny 5 year old Rising Sun camper to counselor and mentor. He was a loyal friend to so many and always exuded such earnest goodwill. I loved seeing him at the Cary Family YMCA, he was an institution.

Words can't express the sorrow we feel. I wish we could be there with you. Rosana, Aaron, Ray, Robert and Erin, we want you to know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.

January 17, 2014

We have all been overwhelmed with sadness over the loss of such a great person. Although you're gone there is no way that we will ever forget you. Dave had a sort of "magical" presence that could cheer you up even in the saddest of times. We have all been so privileged to have known him. Even though his life was short, his spirit and compassion for others was so incredible that it seemed to make up for lost years. In his short time here, he managed to do so much, more than most people do in a lifetime. His compassion and love for others was, and still is, contagious and inspirational. Now more than ever I will allow his loving spirit to inspire me to become a better person each and every day.

Coover maneuver, i remember when you came up with that saying. The funny thing was that it stuck. And thats when all the other counselors started comming up with there own crazy names. You were the best. I looked up to you and infact i still do. As a previous camper and now highschooler, without you i wouldnt have grown up to be who i am today. I believe we shouldnt grieve over this moment. I believe we should recognize this as a chance of oppurtunity to celebrate all of your doings. There is one thing for sure that i know that david would want us all to do, and that is to keep smiling and have a possitave attitude as he did. Straight from a mans heart to another, i love you.

David was a dear friend to me, while we both worked at the Rising Sun Day Camp. He was funny, bright and a great person to be around. I will always remember an adventure we took camping together with Paul Benzie in Hanging Rock State Park. We had just reconnected over the phone just before the new year and I'm glad I had that one last chance to hear how well he was doing. I will always think of "Coover", I called him by his last name, when I go fishing or to play a few holes of frisbee golf. The sad thing is now that he's gone there wasn't a person left I would want to do those things more with. I will have to continue to think on what David taught me by sharing his brief life with me. He will always be my friend and I know we will see each other again one day. -- To his family : I wish I could have told you these words in person about what a great son and brother you had, but unfortunately I cannot make the funeral. Know he was great also because of what each of you shared and taught him. He lives on in your memories of joy. He was a great guy, friend and brother. May each of you be surrounded with warmth and support in this time of need. Know that you are not alone. - All my Best, A.H.

I immediately think of the kindness, energy and dedication to his job and that amazing smile that would light up the room when he entered!

My sons were extremely fortunate to have Coover as their YMCA counselor for several years...Coover was a favorite with the Teague boys. His constant smile, warm personality and strong leadership skills made him a fabulous role model for young, impressionable students. His family clearly raised a fine young man; he will be terribly missed by many.

My first time in Leaders Club I was super nervous and I didn't know anybody. I stood by the door and didn't know what to do. Coover was the first person to come up to me, he ran over and gave me the biggest smile and started talking to me right away. He said, "Hey. You're gonna be okay. It's gonna be okay, this is so worth it." and I only wish I could have said the same thing to him. His smile was the brightest thing I had ever seen and he was always so positive and people were just drawn to him. He was honestly so amazing and I can't picture him in my head without seeing his smiling face. I miss him so much and I'm sure you do too. Coover was an AMAZING person and he made a huge impact on me and lots of others. I'm so sorry for your loss and I will be praying for your family during this difficult time. I'm sure he's up there in Heaven having the time of his life. Your son was truly a remarkable person.

I had the pleasure of working with David briefly during his internship here at the Division of Water Resources Chemistry Lab. I sensed immediately that he was a person full of love and compassion. He had an enormously sweet smile and his character was truly the most upstanding of a young gentleman. I am sincerely saddened to hear of this terrible loss, and send my love and strength to the family of David. Wishing you sincere peace and light,

Dear Rosana and family. My deepest condolences. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. I hope in time you will find peace and joy in your memories of David and in knowing how he made a difference to so many people. David touched many lives including our daughter, Iman. He was her counselor at the Y beginning in elementary school and quickly became her friend – someone she could count on for fun and sound advice. I experienced his spark – he had a warm and gentle manner always open and welcoming. David glowed.

Helping set up Jackson's new fish tank and taking him to buy his first fish is something he will never forget. Never met a better friend. You will be sooooo missed.

As David grew up, taller than his old auntie, I still saw in his eyes, this same sweet, curious, fearless little boy who wanted his horsie to fly even faster. Rosie, Ray, Robert and Erin, I can only hold onto the thought that somewhere, somehow his spirit truly flies free tonight. David left us but we'll always remember him, and the many unique and precious memories he gave us.

Same sweet smile all those years later.

I cannot imagine the pain you must feel at this moment and can only pray that you will heal in the days to come and hold dear the memory of your David dear and forever in your hearts. May peace and love comfort you at this most difficult time.

Dear Rosana and Family,
Oh my – the absolute shock! My heart has dissolved into a puddle of tears! I can't bear the thought you, Raymond, Robert, Erin Marie and Aaron going through the agony of such a wretched, unspeakable loss. Nor can I bear the sadness that pervades our family once again as we grieve the passing of another young, promising, and loving member. It is so hard to comprehend the reality - and my mind struggles to understand what it wants to disbelieve or even ignore.

How can this be? How can we accept that David is no longer among us? Even for those of us who were not a regular part of his life it is almost impossible to endure the thought that he has been snatched away when so young. The light in the soul of such a beautiful, engaging, and caring person - as all who knew David to be - has dimmed. But it has not gone out. It is still there…in the Heavens, in our memories, and always in our hearts!

Each day let his light shine and sparkle brightly inside you. Feel it glowing. Eventually, even when sadness seems to overwhelm you, allow that light and the memory of his days soothe you like a gentle breeze in the summer, or warm you like a loving hug on a cold day, or make laugh like a feather tickling you from inside. As a family, you experienced the ultimate and incomparable joy of his years as your son and brother. And you know the true depth of the love he returned to each one of you and the happiness he spread unselfishly and generously among so many others. That love, that pure spirit, will never change. It remains safe and whole within you where no one can ever remove it or steal it away from that special place where you keep him always.

Each person is a unique and treasured gift from God given to us on loan. And though some stay with us for a shorter time than others…and we miss them so tragically when they have gone…we can also realize that we were so very blessed to have the time with them. There is nothing greater than to have experienced the unequaled delight of having someone close, loyal, and devoted to us and whose very presence made us happy and enhanced and embellished our own lives.

David is now at peace where love abounds all around him. And the greatest wish I can offer is for all of you to find peace as you hold each other closely…and share what can help you most during this dark time…which is love, comfort, and most of all gratefulness for all that David brought to you and the tremendous legacy of joy that he left for everyone he knew to embrace. My deepest sympathy, understanding and blessings to all.

Dear Mr and Mrs Coover,

I am so sorry for your loss. I was just getting to know David when he joined my team at Parexel. He was a delight to work with and showed great passion for his job.

i pray the love of God enfolds you during your journey through grief. I send you thoughts of comfort.

Wishing you peace to bring comfort, courage to face the days ahead and loving memories to forever hold in your hearts.

Dr.Mr and Mrs Coover,

I am so sorry for your loss. David was a part of my team at Parexel and really was a pleasure to work with as he began his journey growing with the company. My prayers are with you and your family.

David was such a bright, intelligent young man. He was my 'buddy' at work and my job was to teach him...however he never realized , I'm sure, how much he taught me. He taught me to be eager again and to ask questions and delight in the answers. He always had an amazing smile and such a quick wit! Although we didn't work together long, he definitely made his mark on my life. I am so saddened and heartbroken. May he and his family find the peace of God's love beyond all understanding. I will miss you my friend.

There is not a minute that I am not pained by what happened. I am filled with sorrow for losing the one person I could always count on to talk or just relax and watch a movie or something. he was always so cool and I looked up to him for being such a wonderful person and accomplishing so much and I was always so jealous of him. he was more than a brother he was my best friend and I love him so much that it hurts too much inside and out that it is hard to breathe, speak, eat or anything. we all love him and he cared for every body and always around me had a smile. this pain will never go away. I cant go a second without crying knowing he is not going to be there when I get married or when I have more recitals or anything and I really wanted him to be there. he was just always there for me and I cant imagine him not being there with me. he was there when I took my first steps, when I said my first word everything. he was so important to me that it breaks my heart knowing he is gone. words cant explain how much I miss him. I love you so much Dave.
Your sister forever.

There are not words that I can put together to express my condolences. I have nothing but the fondest memories of hanging out with Coover at the apartment over the past few years with Josh and Grover as well. From FIFA games to watching Game of Thrones, and much more, the memories that Coover is a part of for me are ones that I will never forget. David will be missed by many and thought of often, and family and friends are in my thoughts during this difficult time.

We were supposed to send Christmas cards to each other through the later years of our lives. I held Dave to the highest esteem as he was the most intelligent, empathetic, and kind friend who was at my side since we were only six years old. To say that he will be missed is a remarkable understatement. I'll think of him everyday that passes for the rest of my life. Here's to you, Dave.

This is such sorrowful news. As his YMCA counselor, David was a beloved friend and wonderful mentor in my son's life. We are broken-hearted for the world to lose such a good soul. Please know how loved your son was by so many young people who looked up to him. "Coovie" will forever have a cherished place in this mother's heart for how he has shaped my own son's character and self confidence. And my son will carry David's own spirit with him for having been blessed with "Coovie's" friendship and leadership at such an impressionable and delicate age where boys need solid role models to help them become young men of strong character themselves. You gave such a gift to so many parents like me through the son you brought into this world and raised to be such an inspiring young man. Thank you for that from the depths of our broken hearts.

My heart is totally broken by this news. I am so sorry for your loss. David was an amazing person and I remember him as a YMCA camper at Camp Rising Sun. His energy, passion, and spirit was always so bright. He was also a counselor at the Y and during that time, my daughter was able to share in his spirit. It was so nice to see him once as a camper, then again to see him as a counselor, working along side my child. David will always be in our hearts.

I am devastated by this awful, awful news. David was a such a wonderful young man. He was a splendid and tender human being filled-to-overflowing with kindness. He was such a gentle and thoughtful person. His positive impact on people's lives at the Cary YMCA surely measures in the thousands--those young people he mentored and the adults he worked around. He will be greatly missed and mourned by a very large community of people. We loved him like our own, Rosana. I'm so saddened by David's death. Words completely fail to convey how much.

Our hearts go out to you during this inexpressible time of sorrow. I never knew you, but knew and loved your son like he was my own. He was an unbelievable mentor, full of character and grace to my son, Zack. Our hearts are filled with sorrow for having lost such a bright light on this earth.
