In Loving Memory of David Dalpiaz (1967-2026)

David "Dave" Dalpiaz passed away surrounded by love. Dave is survived by his devoted wife, Yvette Dalpiaz, and his beloved daughter, Camilla Dalpiaz. He is also survived by his brother, Daniel Dalpiaz and Mary Meyers; his sisters, Angela O'Toole and Dennis O'Toole, and Lisa Dolly and Thomas McCartney. Dave will be forever remembered by his eight nieces and two nephews, all of whom he adored deeply. He was predeceased by his parents, Rita and Robert Dalpiaz, and his brother, Bobby Dalpiaz.

Dave was a man who lived with his whole heart-fully, fiercely, and with the kind of devotion that made everyone around him feel safer, stronger, and more loved. He brought a zest for life into every room he entered and gave 150% to everything he did, not because he had to, but because that's simply who he was.

Above all else, Dave was a family man. He was deeply devoted to his wife and daughter, the center of his world, and he showed that love not just in words, but in the steady, constant way he showed up-every day, every moment, no matter what. He was a protector by nature and by choice, a man who made sure the people he loved were cared for, supported, and never alone.

Dave was also a cherished presence in the lives of his nieces and nephews, who knew him as a second dad, a mentor, a guide, and a source of unwavering encouragement. He had a rare ability to make others feel seen and believed in. He listened, he advised, he stepped in when needed- and he was there for every moment that mattered.

In his professional life, Dave was widely admired and respected for his leadership and integrity. He led by example, with strength and fairness, and he consistently encouraged those around him to be their best. People trusted him-not only because he was capable, but because he was genuine. He brought out the best in others simply by expecting greatness and offering the support to reach it.

Dave will be remembered for his warmth, his laughter, his steadfast loyalty, and the way he made people feel protected and valued. He leaves behind a legacy of love, strength, and devotion that will live on through his family and all those whose lives were better because he was in them.

Though he is no longer physically with us, Dave's presence remains-in the lessons he taught, the love he gave, and the countless moments of care and humor that will be held close forever.

He will be deeply missed and forever loved.
