He was born in California but resided in Reno, NV for the last ten years of his life. He will be sorely missed by close family members and the many friends he made and kept since high school, from San Jose, CA to Reno, NV. Dave made people laugh and he was a good listener.
Though he was a brilliant mechanical and electronics engineer, and an accomplished Tang Soo Do practitioner, he will be most remembered for his "fierce independence" and his full heart for those he loved and cared about.
