David Stillwell Obituary

David J. Stillwell 1954 - 2018
UTICA - David Jeffrey Stillwell, 64, passed away on October 11, 2018.
David was born to the late Teresa and Emmett Stillwell, on July 5, 1954. He received his education at Frankfort-Schuyler Schools and went on to graduate from Utica College on the Dean's list with an Engineering Degree. Before his medical issues, David held many jobs, but amongst the most impressive was when he worked as the main engineer, on a nursing home in Connecticut, a multi-million dollar job.
David will always be remembered for his sense of humor and how he always cared about other people. He looked out for people who were down on their luck and passed aside by society. But less not forget "Do you have a five dollar bill for me?".
David is survived by his daughters, Ann (Israel) Guzman and Katie (Joel) Nowalk; sisters, Sharon Tomaino and Sue Stillwell; brothers, Ron (Deb) Stillwell and Rick Stillwell; a special granddaughter, Nadia; and special grandson, Elias; also his aunt, Elly; and uncle, Gene; and many nieces, nephews and friends.
He was predeceased by a brother, John; grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins.
The family would like to thank Dennis and Denise Ruddy for all their patience and care for David over the many years.
Relatives and friends may call on Saturday, at the Matt Funeral Home, 700 Rutger St. Utica, from 10:30 a.m.-12:00 p.m. His funeral service will follow calling hours at 12:00 p.m., with Reverend John Bueller officiating. Interment will be in Norwich Corners Cemetery.
