Obituary of David Charles Cummer

David Charles Cummer

Born May 18th 1956

Died March 8th 2022.

David was our family’s ‘Rocket man’ always interested in both science fiction as well as actual space science and space exploration.

His unexpected death on March 8th has left a huge hole in our lives and the lives of his many friends who loved him without hesitation. He loved his two nephews Charles and Jeffrey Cole along with the many ‘adopted’ nieces and nephews he met during his life with the same lack of hesitation.

David did not suffer fools lightly and he supported many causes from the LGBT community to the Deaf community to overcoming the injustices he saw.

He was funny and irreverent, yet he still had a sense of grace to him.

With his passing we all have lost a brother, a friend, an uncle, and the world will be dimmer without his laugh.

Take the time to look into the sky and wonder at the glory of what is out there. And remember David Charles Cummer and know he is walking among those glittering lights.

The pain we feel is tempered with the memories we have. With time, that pain, that ache, will fade away. But the memories will be like those stars, glorious and eternal.
