     David, a gifted songwriter, bass player, and singer whose music and spirit left a lasting imprint on everyone who knew him. David’s passion for creativity shone brightest on stage, whether he was playing with his beloved bands Major Disturbance or Perfect Crime. He poured his heart into every lyric, note, and performance, creating memories that will continue to echo in the lives of his family, friends, and fellow musicians.

     Beyond music, David had a deep love for science fiction, especially Star Trek. He found joy and inspiration in its stories of exploration, hope, and humanity—values he carried with him throughout his life. His enthusiasm for the final frontier was matched only by his appreciation for classic MGB cars, which he admired, cared for, restored, and cherished over the years.

     David will be remembered for his kindness, his humor, and the genuine warmth he shared with everyone around him. His melodies, his laughter, and his love for the things that brought him joy will live on in all who were fortunate enough to know him.

    He will be deeply missed, but his legacy—both musical and personal—will continue to live on.

    Family and friends are welcome to come celebrate David's life by gathering for visiting hours in the Nardone Funeral Home, 373 Main St. Watertown Monday December 8, 2025 from 4-7 PM. Burial will be private.
