David Gomer Obituary
09/18/1956 - 12/02/2023
We are sad to announce the unexpected passing of David Gomer, of Toledo. He passed away on December 2, 2023, leaving behind a legacy of kindness and compassion. He was a longtime resident and business owner in the Arlington community.
Born on September 18, 1956, to Edward A. and Mary J. E. (Tucker) Gomer in Toledo, David's dedication to his community was evident through his business endeavors and his volunteer work for animal welfare. He had a boundless love for dogs, especially his own beloved dogs. He once took in a seriously injured dog, who became a cherished and loyal companion. David had a passion for animals, cars, family, and his community. He owned his business, Dave's Auto Service, for 41 years. He was a dedicated uncle to many nieces and nephews.
David's family will hold dear the memories of the many warm gatherings he hosted. Left to cherish his memory are his siblings, Gwyn Mares, Steve, Thomas, Donald (Lisa), Sandra (Norbert) Kirian, Kathy (Michael) Stengle, William, and Christopher (Jenny); and many nieces and nephews.
David now rests in peace, reunited with his parents, Edward and Mary; as well as his infant twin sisters, Barbara Jean and Catherine Sue; his brother, Joseph; and his nieces, Jessica and Michelle.
To honor David's memory, the family invites friends and loved ones to pay their respects and share in remembrance on Friday, December 15th at 1:00 p.m., at Newcomer Funeral Home, 4752 Heatherdowns Blvd Toledo, OH 43614.
In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that memorial contributions be directed to The Ohio State University Veterinary Medical Center. They provided care to David's beloved pets, and their work reflects his commitment to animal welfare.
David will be missed, but his spirit of compassion and generosity will live on in the hearts of all who were fortunate enough to know him.

It is always hard to say anything that truly gives any relief to a person or family that has lost a family member way to young and to soon! If I am remembering correctly unfortunately this isn't your first brother lost way way to young. I also suffered a loss that cuts deep and sharp everyday one of my son's just a bit over 2 years ago! Please take and keep my truly heart felt thoughts that you can remember all the wonderful times with David! I mainly knew and was friends with Sandy.

We are so sorry to hear of Dave's passing. Rick grew up with Dave and remained friends and in touch with Dave until as of late, time got away. I myself met Dave in the early 80s. I remember his radar o'riley photo in Ermies bar. Always such a nice guy, ready to lend a hand if he could help in any way. It was a pleasure knowing him and he will be very missed. His family is in our thoughts and Prayers.
