Age 64, Jurupa Valley, CA, passed away at 4 p.m. on May 26, 2017 at Riverside Community Hospital due to organ complications that led to sepsis.

Dave grew up in Cheyenne, Wyoming and moved to California in the 70's where he married and raised a family. He worked construction for over 40 years, most in the private sector and the last nine years in public service for the City of Corona Public Works. He was a passionate man who loved music, sports, and people. Left to honor Dave and remember his love are his two children, Keith (Anastassia) Shreve, and Kerry (Josh) McCoy; three grandchildren, Cayden, Brodie, and Dylan; brothers and sisters Jo Anne MacDowell, Kent, Donald, Susan (Tom) Galles; and many nieces, nephews, and cousins. Family and friends who wish to reminisce, grieve, laugh, and celebrate the life of Dave are invited to Jurupa Hills Country Club, 6161 Moraga Ave., Riverside, from 12pm-3pm on Sunday, June 4th.

I just did a search trying to find my old friend from Clark Elementary School in Cheyenne, so I am just seeing this now. We first met in Mrs. Yokam´s 4th grade class in the 1962-1963 year, and then we were in Mr. Sanford´s 5th class together too, until 1964 when my father got transferred from Warren AFB down to Florida, and then we lost touch. Now and then I would think of him and other classmates at Clark, and I always remembered him as a good friend and a good person who everyone liked.

I love you so much, Dad. Not a day goes by that I don't think of you. You were such a light in my life, it feels dark most of the time without you. I sure hope the pain gets softer, but I also realize it hurts so much because of how much I love you, unconditionally. A love that will never be broken. I hope you are dancing and having fun in heaven.

So very sorry to hear about the passing of Dave. We spent many summers together growing up in Cheyenne. Our senior year was a summer to remember. Sorry we didn't stay close after going separate ways. Dave was a great guy and I will never forget the good times we had.
