David Puett Obituary

Survivors include his wife Barbara, daughters Krista Puett & Brooke Fuentes, grandchildren Joshua Puett and Emma Fuentes, and his brother Bill Puett and sister Cyd Ropp. He met his wife at UCLA then completed his MBA. He was successful in banking and then became a much requested and respected substitute teacher. He loved God and helping others. He had a passion for serving children in Malawi and Brazil, creating toys for his grandchildren, fixing anything and everything, and caring for his family as a jack-of-all trades.

To the family of Dave, I just found out about Dave's accident from a friend at cal fit and though I did not know dave outside the gym I certainly will miss how he told me I was going to break the machines because I used them so hard, my best to the family and may he rest in peace.

David was a favorite cousin. The times visiting their family in Santa Maria are fond memories. He was hysterically funny, sweet and smartand a trickster. The last time I saw David was in Belmont 4 years ago at my mother's funeralI, along with the rest of our family, were so very happy to spend a little time with him. Loved him dearly, miss him. Love to all of his family and friends. Christine Billion

David Puett. A good man, gentle and gracious, especially kind to children and beloved by his family and friends. Brilliant and hilarious, he was always able to see the irony in life. He will be sorely missed. Wishing much comfort and solace for his family.

David was caring, smart, witty and reflected his faith and love of his family in all he did. He will be missed very much. May God hold you all in the palm of his hand and give you peace knowing David is with our Father in Heaven. God Bless, Larry and Ruth

It's hard to express how I am feeling about the loss of Dave. He was a good friend and co-worker, extremely caring, funny, creative, quirky and so much more.
He will be missed by many. Bob and I send our heartfelt condolences.
