DAVID G.A. TURCH

David G.A. Turch, 59, of Triangle, VA died on the morning of Thursday, October 6, 2022. David is survived by his son Eric G. Turch and his fiancée Wanda of Triangle, VA; his daughter Rebecca Pittman and her husband Donald of Cantonment, FL; parents David N.M. and Meridel E. Turch of Mason Neck -Lorton, VA; sisters Catherine Hall and her husband Edmund of Louisa, VA and Nicole Turch Bartock and her husband Dewayne of Woodbridge, VA; brothers Terrance A.J. Turch of Moncks Corner, SC and Michael E.M. Turch and his wife Jessica of Triangle, VA; grandchildren Pierre, Zyair, Zania and Paris Pittman of Cantonment, FL; as well as many extended family members that adored him.



David was born August 17, 1963 in Little Falls, MN. After graduating from Cathedral High School in St. Cloud, Minnesota, David moved back to Northern Virginia where he began his long career as a Journeyman and a member of the Carpenter's Union 491- the Northeast Regional Council of Carpenters.



David was a loving soul who would help anyone in need at any time. He loved the water; boating on the Potomac evoked his signature smile. As a collective Turch passion, camping was a favorite pastime, especially in the Outer Banks. David loved shooting off fireworks and making bonfires that were always borderline of being out of control. He was also environmentally conscious as he would spend hours picking up trash, then separating the recycling from the waste in his go-to beach attire, cutoff jeans with no shirt or shoes.



Family and friends will be celebrating David with a viewing on Friday, October 14, 2022 from 2 to 4 p.m. and 6 to 9 p.m. with Eulogies at 8:30 p.m. at Mountcastle Turch Funeral Home & Crematory, 4143 Dale Boulevard, Dale City, VA 22193. A Funeral Service will be held Saturday beginning at 10:30 a.m. Interment will follow at Pohick Cemetery.
