He is lovingly survived by his wife of 27 years, Bonnie Conway, whose partnership and devotion were a cornerstone of his life. Together, they nurtured a beautiful family, including their sons Joshua Conway ( Katie), and Ivan Conway.

A man of many talents, David was known for his handyman skills, possessing the remarkable ability to fix nearly anything. His hands built and mended, reflecting the care and attention he brought to every aspect of his life. A proud Navy veteran, David served his country with honor and discipline. Following his service, he devoted 27 years to American Tire, where he was not only a dedicated employee but a beloved colleague, deeply respected and appreciated by those fortunate enough to work alongside him.

David’s passions extended beyond his work and family; he was a passionate collector of knives and vintage items, treasures that told stories of times past and reflected his unique character and interests. Those close to him affectionately called him “Pops,” a testament to the warmth and love he radiated and the irreplaceable role he held in his family.

He will be remembered not only for what he accomplished but for who he was—a man who loved deeply, worked faithfully, and lived genuinely.
