David Denker Obituary
David M. Denker, 50, beloved son of the late Carl and Lenore (nee Breiding). David was the loving and cherished brother of Jean Connolly and Mark, John and Martin Denker; and brother-in-law to Tom Connolly, and Lynn Lewis-Denker, Julie and Jill Denker. David was a beloved uncle to Ben, Victoria, Sam, Ian, Calvin and Alexandra Denker, Katie and Jamie Connolly and Blake Lewis. He was much loved by his aunts and uncles Richard and Elizabeth Breiding, Dave and the late Martha Breiding, Len and Susan Breiding and Ann and Richard Malecky, the late Karen Breiding, and his many cousins. All that knew David were touched by his enthusiasm for life, his ever-present smile, his love for his family and his sly sense of humor.
Special thanks are given to David's long-time caregivers Dan and Cynthia Mernagh and all the nurses and caregivers of Arden Court of Bainbridge, Hamlet Manor of Chagrin Falls and Heartland Hospice.

Ben, John, Martin, Mark, Jean and families.
I only met David a couple of times but he was such a quiet, shy, polite young man. I, too, know what it is to lose a brother to death because my last living brother died last Sept. in Florida. We must believe that he is in a much better place now and very happy to be with his mom and dad again.
Ralph and I send our thoughts and prayers to all of you at this time of sorrow.

John,
Remembering our "dates" with David, his power struggles with Ben and his warm hugs will always hold a special place in my heart.
Randy, Austin, Racheal and I send our thoughts to you, Mark, Martin and Jean at this time as we, too, have so recently suffered our own family losses.
Heaven must be a more wonderful place now that Dave has arrived.
