He was a career musician and fixture in the Denver music scene, with his musical roots tracing back to Junior High jazz band.

Through the business he owned with his wife Michelle, he was able to serve so many people and bring joy to their lives, which he loved to do as a makeup artist. On at least one occasion, David did a bride’s makeup and then performed music at her wedding.
His devotion to serving other people has left a legacy of pure love, joy, incredible music, and nothing but good memories for each of us that knew him.
I have made this GoFundMe to ensure that David’s memory can be honored through a beautiful service, which is currently being planned. Additionally, this will ensure that his family can focus on honoring his memory and help each other through this incredibly difficult time.
These funds will be used for the costs of the service and any medical and funeral costs.
