David Brinsky Obituary


BRINSKY, David
Born June 25, 1959. He entered into eternity to be with our Lord the Father on June 30, 2005 at the age of 46. Preceded in death by his beloved father Ronald P. Brinsky. David was a loving father to his son Justin (20) and his daughter Kelley (19). Loving son to Joyce Brinsky. He was loved and cherished by his sisters Joy (Glenn) Delman, Kay (Todd) Judson, nephew Joshua, nieces Leah and Arianne, and many aunts, uncles, and cousins in the Sacramento area. David, a Sacramento native, was a loyal Ace Hardware employee for 20 years from which he formed many loyal long lasting friendships. He loved the mountains, rock music, reading, and his slightly overweight dog Cerin. He will be missed and loved by all who had the privilege of knowing him. A very special person.

Was surfing the web, and just found out that David had passed a while back.

First met David in the early 1970s when I joined Boy Scout Troop 108. It was based out of an elementary school in the Fern Bacon Jr High district. We lived in the John Still Jr High district, but David and the other Scouts welcomed me with open arms.

For a couple years, David's dad was our Scoutmaster. And on different occasions, David was our patrol leader or our senior patrol leader. He and his dad were great leaders. Through their teachings and leadership, I learned a lot of life skills that have helped me throughout the decades.

We went on a lot of great campouts, summer camps and bike rides. Later, we attended Luther Burbank High together.
Through the grapevine, I found out that he played guitar in a band that played Led Zeppelin and other classic rock. Wish I could have seen them perform.

A couple years later, between classes, I would see him in the quad at Sac City College. Dave was always friendly and glad to see me.
He would fill me in on the latest about his family, the guys from Troop 108 and our Burbank classmates.

I will always fondly remember my times with David. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family & friends.

To Daves family,

I worked with Dave at ACE for ten years, he was my supervisor at the very beginning. Many, many memories since then. When I think of Dave I can hear him singing as he worked, everyone could hear him. He was a 'rock' at ACE. I know Daves favorite movie was "Heaven Can Wait", but I guess it couldn't wait afterall. He's home now with the good Lord. My thoughts and prayers to the family.

God Bless,

Dru Faucett

To all of David's family,

I had the privelige of working with David at Ace Hardware for more thank 11 years. During that time we shared thousands of hours filling orders, racing up and down isles competing for time. Since leaving left Ace in 1998 I would still stop by David's house till this day to visit for a short time and catch up, although he was a Raiders fan (he would have laughed at that)He was so great to be around. I will forever remember him and always remember those fond years of working side by side with him. to his loving family please know he was such a wonderful person to know. My gift to you is this...In memory of David.



"God saw you were getting tired

And your time here was no longer to be.

So he put his arms around you and whispered "Come to Me"



With tearful eyes we have all watched you pass away

Althogh we loved you dearly David

We could not make you stay.



A golden heart has now stoped beating

And hard working hands are at rest.

God broke our hearts to prove to us,

He only takes the best.



RIP my old friend. I'll always remember you.

I didn't know Dave personally, but he was a good friend to my daughter Mary Nacarelli and her children. Mary and Dave worked together at Ace Hardware and Dave spent time with Mary and her children. My grandchildren remember Dave and tell me how much they liked him and what a good friend he was. My daughter spoke of Dave often.



Mary passed from this life and joined the Lord on June 14, 2005. I know her spirit was there to welcome Dave when he also joined the Lord. Be at peace Dave.



My thoughts and prayers are with your family and friends. I share in their grief. And, I also share in their joy that you have found peace with the Lord.

I was accepted as part of the family. We had a great time listening and playing music. We played Canasta, ping pong and pool. We went to the family cabin and kayaked in the home made kayaks. Your dad took us for a ride in the old Chevy. You gave me memories I will cherish forever. I send my love to you and your family.
