Born on January 28, 1951, Dave worked for the state of Washington for 35 years. He enjoyed time with his family, road trips without an agenda, playing baseball as a young man, watching "grandson baseball", golfing with his buddy George and hosting backyard bonfire gatherings.

He is survived by his wife, Teri; stepsons Jeff McBride and Chad McBride (Tori); grandsons Colin and Nathan McBride; sisters Vanessa Butler of Tumwater and Valerie Loffler (Bob) of Mesa, Washington as well as many nephews and nieces.
