David Emerson Ward II

11/20/1965 to 11/22/2021

Pre-deceased by his parents, David Emerson Ward I and Cecilia Pokorny Ward, and dogs, Kippi and Luci. Survived by Connor and Cindi Ward, sister Cecilia Gordon-Smith (Keith), his beloved pugs Abby and Ozzy, several nieces and nephews, cousins and Aunt Helga.

David worked at various jobs throughout his life around the Rochester area.  He was also a very good handyman, always building, or fixing most anything. He was also a caretaker for “the boys” with special needs, for which he grew up with like brothers.

He loved playing the drums and guitar.  Having “rock concerts” with his friends.

Many fond memories surround David’s life.  Our young married life, the birth of our son Connor, the laughs we shared – as David had a great sense of humor. Sometimes life takes a turn, and things change, but the care and love was always there for both of us. He had a kindness that touched many people.  Many close lifetime friends, new friends through the years, work friends, and friends he considered family.

David struggled with health issues for many years, but always remained positive. Our proudest and most joyous moment was when Connor was born.  He was an extension of us both and our love surrounded him.

For Connor – I hope you grow, learn, embrace life, and know how your father truly loved you.

Be free now David with no more pain.

We will always love you.
