David Hurd Obituary


David Allen Hurd, Sr.  
David Allen Hurd Sr. was born in Warren, OH, the first child of Max G. Hurd and Maree E. (Forney) Hurd. He earned a BS from Hiram College, served in the Air Force, and earned a MS from Indiana University. He worked as a Computer Systems Analyst for the Army. His lifelong love of music was best expressed through the part he played at the Folk Club of Reston-Herndon. Dave Hurd, Sr. passed away peacefully at home on July 2, 2020 at the age of 78, surrounded by family. He is survived by his wife, Beth; brother John and family; children, Gail and Rod, and David Jr and Tiffany; stepchildren Richard and Ji, Kurt and Alison, and Brian; and eight grandchildren. Dave never wanted much fuss made about him, so we will not make much of one now. The family is hoping to hold a Celebration of Life in early August, to which all of his many friends are welcome. In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to the Folk Club of Reston-Herndon to support their continuing operation, or to Blue Ridge Hospice who were invaluable in their kindness and care in his last days. Beth says weed-pulling is also welcome anytime. Please view obituaries and tribute wall atwww.ompsfuneralhome.com

For many of us, Tuesday nights with the Reston Herndon Folk Club has long been a safe, joyous and nurturing little island of sanity and creativity that makes the world a nicer place. Dave Hurd was the heartbeat of the Folk Club for decades. There might have been people who passed through our club who didn't like Dave Hurd, but I can't think of any. We miss you immensely, Dave. Thank you for being such a good friend.
