Passed away suddenly, October, 22, 2022 at age 41.
Predeceased by his mother, Joyce (Keller) in 2019.
Dave is survived by his wife Heather (Ritchie) Beechner; his father Donald Sr., brother, Donald Jr. (Heather), sister, Lori (James Sr.) Banning; nephews and niece, Donnie, Jimmy, Jonny and Kimmy; father in law and mother in law, David & Cindy Ritchie; sister in law Laura (Danny) Cole; his cats, Brad, Jack, Eddie and Liebe.
Dave was a kind, caring, fun-loving guy. He was always listening to something; his favorite music, from Jack Johnson and Jason Mraz to twenty one pilots, and you could always hear him coming because he had Rover’s Morning Glory playing in his pocket.
Dave loved to fix everything, whether it was something around the house, a lawn mower or bicycle, or a snack that needed doctoring. His sandwich making cannot be matched just like his sense of humor; he did not mind telling jokes at his own expense as long as everyone was laughing. He approached everyone with enthusiasm and bright eyes and didn’t miss an opportunity to offer his help fixing something for them. He extended this into his work as a Property Manager for Buckingham Properties.
Dave was so loved by so many, including his friends from Spencerport and his work family from Home Depot (where he and Heather first met). Dave and Heather connected on many levels but no connection was as strong as their mutual love of cats. He loved his cats unconditionally, especially Buddy and Francis.
In Dave’s memory, please consider donating to your favorite animal rescue or charity. A gathering to celebrate Dave will be planned for a later date.
