“David was a Navy veteran of 20 years. He was born in Reno,
Nevada and made his childhood home in Sparks, Nevada. He always
made friends easily. When he was young, our neighborhood had a lot
of children – he was always the oldest, and the neighborhood kids
looked up to him. He was an avid UNR (University of Reno) Wolfpack
fan and attended as many games as he could. He was a father of 5,
but his struggle with PTSD was hard on his relationships and ended
in either divorce or just a split up. He has 3 other brothers that
served in the Navy also. His youngest brother is currently a
lieutenant serving as an air traffic controller.
David loved to hunt and fish and would take his eldest to hunt
also.
After retiring from the Navy, David struggled with mental issues
and at one time turned away from me as he felt I was prying too
much into his business. I only wanted him to get help. He never
felt he had a problem. He estranged himself from quite a few people
and didn’t realize it was due to the issues he was struggling
with.
He had just gotten remarried 1 ½ years ago and had a new baby that
just turned a year old in November. She will never know her dad
which is sad because when he was having good days, he could be the
best dad ever. I will miss his laughter and smile.” Shared by his
mother, Janis
States he called home: Virginia, California and Nevada
Final Rest: Northern Nevada Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Fernley,
Nevada
