In Loving Memory of

David Navarro

1984 – 2025

Beloved son, brother, uncle, cousin, and proud dog dad to Kiko and Benny.

David Navarro lived his 41 years with purpose, humor, and an open heart. He had a calm strength that drew people in and a generosity that left no one untouched. Whether he was helping someone fix a problem, making everyone laugh at a family gathering, or planning his next trip, David lived life with quiet confidence and genuine joy.

As an Electrical Engineer, David had a sharp mind and a love for figuring out how things worked.  He had a way of breaking things down, not just in circuits or systems, but in life — finding solutions, bringing calm, and always offering a different perspective.

Before his engineering career, David served as a U.S. Marine, a chapter of his life that shaped his sense of duty, discipline, and resilience. He carried those values with him every day, long after his service — in the way he worked, loved, and looked out for others.

David's heart was fullest when he was surrounded by the people and animals he loved most. He adored his two dogs, Kiko and Benny, treating them like family — because to him, they were. David's deep love for his dogs spoke volumes about his good soul. Their bond was a testament to his loyalty. He loved traveling, exploring new places, and soaking in the world with curiosity and gratitude. But no matter how far he went, he always made time for family. He was the kind of uncle who spoiled his nieces and nephews endlessly — with gifts, laughter, and attention — and the kind of brother and son whose love was felt in many ways.

David showed up for the people he loved in the most.  Whether it was checking in with his family, cracking jokes with his siblings, or recommending the latest shows or movies to everyone.  He was the kind of person who remembered your favorite song, sent random texts, and was the one you could always count on for honest advice or a shoulder to lean on.

David shared a tremendous bond with his parents Christina and Zacarias Navarro.  He connected with them daily and made it a priority to provide support whenever it was needed.  His love for them was very special.

Those who knew David will remember his steady presence, his easy smile, and his ability to make everyone feel comfortable and cared for. He was thoughtful, grounded, always the first to lend a hand. David didn't chase attention or recognition; he found joy in the small things and his routine.

David's time here ended far too soon, but his impact will never fade. His kindness, his loyalty, and his love for his family will be remembered with every shared memory.

David, you gave so much of yourself to your loved ones— through your service, your work, and the way you lifted everyone around you. We'll carry your spirit with us always.

Forever loved. Deeply missed. Never forgotten.

You'll always be a part of us.

Services are being held privately.
