David Widman Obituary

With deepest sorrow, we announce that David Allan Widman, 63, our beloved husband, father, son, brother and friend passed suddenly on Monday, August 17, 2020 at home. Born in Chicago, Illinois on November 11, 1956, he moved to Maryland at a young age and graduated from James M. Bennett High School in Salisbury, MD. He graduated from the University of Maryland with a degree in Business and served in the U.S. Navy for 8 years. He worked at the Office of Naval Intelligence for over 30 years. Dave's greatest joy was being with his family. He had the biggest heart and the sharpest mind and he moved through this world with grace and kindness. He was a big Chicago Sports Fan and his passion for sports was passed on to his family and friends. David will be missed every day by his wife, Peggy; sons, David Jr and Charlie; daughter, Maggie; father, Richard Widman; sisters Donna (Hank) Rebach; Debra (Bruzz) Truitt; Susan (Paul) Riley; brothers-in-law Charles Dougherty and Bill (Bernadette) Dougherty and several nieces and nephews. He is preceded in death by his mother, Doris Ann Widman. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held Monday, August 24 at 10:30 AM at Jesus the Good Shepherd Catholic Church, Owings. Interment will take place in MD Veterans Cemetery, Cheltenham. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Children's National Medical Center, Washington D.C.

I will always remember David's spark in his eyes when he was around Peggy. Terry, Linda, Susan and I were all fortunate to have met him and witnessed his live and dedication to his family and those around him.
I am deeply saddened for your loss!

Sending deepest condolences and great sadness to Debbie and Donna and all the family on the loss of David. David was a genuinely decent human being and he will be missed. I was friends with David from high school days, and we bumped into each other a few times at intel conferences. - Archie and Bonnie Justice (and we will make doubly sure to vote in November)

Deep condolences to Debbie and Donna and the whole family, and great sadness at the loss of David. David was a genuinely decent human being and a friend from high school days, and we ran into each other a few times later on at intel conferences. - Archie and Bonnie Justice (and we will make doubly damned sure we vote in November).

I am so saddened to hear the news about Dave. He was a mentor to me when I first reported on board to the Office of Naval Intelligence in 1986. He became a friend and housemate. We shared many times playing basketball together at the Naval Research Lab and Dave always led the way for our team with his sweet shooting from the outside. I often thought of Dave at the beginning of the NCAA tournament because of his love for his Terps and always thought of Dave anytime the Cubs were playing. Dave was a wonderful person and will be missed. Peggy and the kids are in our thoughts and prayers. Rest in Peace Dave. Rob and Gemma
