David Diaz Obituary

On Friday, February 17th, we received the heart-breaking news that our beloved David had passed. David legitimately had a following of his own, as was evidenced by his wildly wonderful celebration of life that his dear friend, Shelley Mauch, made happen; and his tribute run led by his best friend, Aaron Schenk, the following day. Dave was an amazing friend, son, brother, uncle, cousin and nephew, come hell or high water (even better!). But his most important role in life was that as Dada. There was nothing more important to him than Tucker and Milo, and sharing his love of the outdoor adventure with his boys. When the sun was warm and the snow was melting, David could always be found in the great outdoors: kayaking, rafting, rock climbing, mountain biking, or hitting the skate park. Then as soon as the snow flurries would start to fly, Dave would be the first to skin up for fresh tracks, or to lace up to hit the ice.

David always rolled with the punches and was such a powerful and positive force bursting with energy; the stoke was always high in his presence. He was successfully growing his business, Diaz Tile, and met someone that he and his boys truly cherished, Jessica Clark. We can only imagine how beautiful his future would have been. His spirit will always be with us. When you see the sparkle of the snow on a bluebird day, or the twinkles of a million stars at night, think of David and how much he appreciated that beauty and loved to share it with the many people he loved, and the many that love him.

David is survived by his two sons, Milo Diaz and Tucker Diaz; his mother Lourdes Diaz and partner Karen Barner; his father Hector Diaz and wife Lisa Diaz; his brother Rafael Diaz and his wife Sarah Diaz, and his niece Sofia Diaz and nephew Sebastian Diaz.
