David Joel Marek Obituary (2024)

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of our beloved David "Dave" Joel Marek, on May 16, 2024, who departed this world much too young and unexpectedly, at the age of 57. He was born on February 13, 1967, in Seattle, Washington, to his mother, Caryn Ursula Marek, and father, Robert William Marek. David, a man of many passions, was a business owner, an avid outdoorsman who enjoyed fishing, hunting, golfing, and poker, and a dedicated supporter of the Seahawks. But it was his impact on others that truly defined him. His infectious laughter and genuine love for people left an indelible mark on everyone he met, constantly forging new friendships. David's memory will forever be etched in our hearts, not just for his courageous spirit and love for life, but also for the profound life lesson he imparted: "Live for today, not tomorrow." His legacy will guide us to live fully and embrace laughter as we journey into the future. Dave is survived by his mother, Caryn Marek, and his brothers, Steve Marek, Dan Marek, and Rob Marek, as well as the mother of his child, Mary Robinson. He was a loving father to Quin Marek, a stepfather to Erin Calfrobe, Sage Robinson, and Austin Robinson, and an uncle to Nick Marek, Rachel Marek, Alex Marek, and Sam Marek. His family and many friends will deeply miss him. Dave now can meet again with his father, Robert William Marek, and Christopher Marek with open arms. A Celebration of Life will be held on Friday, May 31, 2024, at 10:00am at Brookside Funeral Home (500 W. Prospect, Moxee, WA). Brookside Funeral Home is caring for the family.
