David Carey Obituary

David E. Carey WILTON - David E. Carey (65) unexpectedly passed away after a courageous battle with cancer on Monday, December 14, 2015. Dave was born on July 10, 1950 in Troy, NY. He was predeceased by his parents, Jack and Adelaide Carey as well as his brother Jack Carey and his wife Marie. Dave attended Catholic Central High School where he graduated with a regent’s degree in 1968. While attending high school he was voted Crusader of the Year in 1968 and was inducted into the Catholic Central Sports Hall of Fame in 2002 for all of his accomplishments in football, basketball and track and field. After graduating, he continued on to Junior College in Albany and completed his Bachelor’s Degree in business administration at Siena College. He then enlisted in the Army National Guard where he served for 6 years. Dave was employed for 33 years with National Grid, retiring in 2006. He began as a service clerk and obtained several roles and managerial positions throughout his career. Dave completed his career as a Supervisor Manager of gas distribution and design. Dave moved to Wilton in 1988 where he raised his two children Ryan and Alyssa. He had an active role in both children’s sports careers and served as coach for many teams along the way. Dave was his children’s biggest fan; his presence could always be heard from the sidelines where he never missed a game or event. Dave spent 18 years with his loving fiancée, Judy Keenan Doyle. Judy stayed at Dave’s side during two bouts with cancer, supporting him along the way. Dave and Judy loved to spend weekends by the pool, placing bets at the track and having lunch dates every Saturday afternoon. Survivors include his fiancée Judy Keenan Doyle of Wilton; two children, Ryan Carey (Katrina Allen and Haiden) of Hudson Falls and Alyssa Carey (Christian Calabrese) of Saratoga Springs and his sister, Judy (Don) Wilson. He is also survived by Judy’s daughter, Megan Doyle Paterniani and husband Scott as well as their 4 children, Grace, Audrey, Gavin and Paige, who “Poppy Dave” adored; many nieces, nephews and countless friends that he considered family. Dave will be remembered for his pride, work ethic and dedication to the New York Yankees and Giants. Relatives and friends may call from 4 to 7pm Friday, Dec. 18, 2015 at the William J. Burke & Sons/Bussing & Cunniff Funeral Homes, 628 North Broadway, Saratoga Springs (584-5373). A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 9:30am on Saturday, Dec. 19, 2015 at St. Clement’s Church, 231 Lake Ave. and burial will follow at St. Peter’s Cemetery, Oakwood Ave., Troy.

My special poem in memory of Dave

One day you'll climb
... to Heavens door
A place your soul
... has been before
Your life on Earth
... a lesson learned
One day your soul
... shall be returned
Come rest with me
... my weary child
I'll comfort you
... for just awhile
You've passed the test
... but still there's more
Each time you'll pass
... through Heavens door
One day you'll stay
... and not return
Your soul in flesh
... are times you learn
One day your soul
... will comprehend
And life on Earth
... will finally end
Until that day
... be all you can
Be that of woman
... or a man
Just one last climb
... to Heavens door
Eternal life - forever more

I need to also send my heartfelt condolences and sympathy to Allysa and Ryan. So many will miss your Dad. You both were the most important people in his life. His love and admiration for you both was so obvious every time I saw you all together. You were all he could talk about. My love to you both. God Bless.

Carey Family, Judy, Allysa, Ryan and all who knew and loved Dave,

It was with great sympathy in learning of Dave's passing. Dave was my brother in law (through marriage), and I loved this guy! His life revolved around his children Allysa and Ryan and never missed their sporting events. Total dedication to his kids which is what I loved most about him. And his cookouts were the best! Dave's smile was infectious and his laughter unforgettable. I will truly miss you my good friend. One of the most giving and appreciated friends I've known. Until we meet again, rest in peace.

Was friends with Dave from back when we both had hair, starting in first grade at St. Paul's, through graduation from CCHS in 68. Lost track of one another after that, as life took us in different directions. We last met up at the last class reunion; he was the same old Dave. My sincere condolences to you Judy, and to Dave's sister Judy from all the Kerwins.

I am so saddened by the loss of your love, Dave. It is so difficult to wrap your mind around something so sudden and sad. Both Tom and I felt very happy to have met him while up visiting Erin and Tim. I know there will be difficult days ahead but know that family and friends stand at the ready to ease your sadness in anyway they can. Especially know that Erin and Tim will be there for you and do not hesitate to lean on them in anyway you might need. You are in our prayers now and in the future...God Bless....Susan and Tom
