David P. Whaley

David P Whaley, a lifelong New York Jets fan, passed away peacefully surrounded by his family Tuesday November 03, 2015 at the Medical Center of the Rockies after a long, valiant and courageous fight with Polycystic Kidney Disease. Recently returning from the Philippines with his wife Charito and daughter Althea, David was looking forward to living back in Fort Collins, Colorado. David was born September 23, 1959 to Kenneth (Ken) F and Mamie D Whaley in Indianapolis, Indiana. He was a graduate of Rocky Mountain High School, class of 1977. David served his country as a proud member of the United States Air Force, leaving with an honorable discharge. After years of working in the engineering field, David left the States, moving to the Philippines and found love and true happiness marrying Charito and becoming a father. His time here at home in Fort Collins was brief but our Lord did bring him home.

David is preceded in death by his father Kenneth Franklin Whaley.

David is survived by his wife Charito, daughter Althea, mother Mamie D Whaley, siblings James Dean (Freda) Whaley, Richard Allen Whaley, Dennis (Jeanne) Whaley, Trisha (Anthony) Whaley.

When you were born you cried and the world rejoiced.
Live your life in such a way that when you die
The world cries and you rejoice.

Peace be with you David, the Great Spirit has called you home.

We n' de ya, ho! We n' de ya, ho!

Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am the thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glint in the snow.
I am the sunlight on the ripened grain.
I am the autumn's gentle rain.
When you awaken in the morning hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush.
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there,
I did not die.
