With heavy hearts David was suddenly taken from this life. David “Choco” joined his father, Geno, August 19,2026 in the heavenly kingdom surrounded by loved ones. Born and raised in Tucson, Arizona and a true Tucsonan till the very end. Anyone who had an
opportunity to know Choco would experience love and witness a soul who would do anything for anyone he could. David was empowering, charismatic, and humorous. David was a beloved Father, Son, Brother, Partner, Tio, Primo, and Friend. The impact left on our hearts from the love of Choco will continue to persevere and touch others through the memories bestowed. David will be eternally missed and live in our hearts.
