David James Day

June 24, 1998 - March 4, 2020

It is with the deepest sadness to write this but on March 4, 2020 our beloved son David left this earth and went to a place of forever rest and peace in heaven. David was born on June 24, 1998 on a warm summer evening in Fort Collins, Colorado. He was the youngest of a tribe of 3 children. His older brother and sister welcomed him when he was born into their little arms with great love and immense joy. David was born with beauty and equal strength...and as he grew he became known as a gentle giant who looked out for people who were being picked on or mistreated. David’s sister Jessie called him “The Light of Her Life.” David was a person of few words and expressed a lot of his care and love through his physical presence, with a helping hand, an arm around you or a listening ear. He was careful who he shared his heart with...and his heart was full of compassion and tenderness. He was known as being the warrior of our family and if needed was always trying to keep us all safe, a role we never asked him to do, but he took on regardless. David was always extremely athletic and excelled in nearly every sport he did. When he was 3 years old we nicknamed him Bam Bam because he was tall, blonde and ridiculously strong. He was a tall quiet strength, a mighty mountain and a gentle stream all in one... when he walked into a room his presence was felt. David was the loving son of his Dad James Day and of his Mom Kristen Day. The big little brother of both his brother Daniel Day and his sister Jessica Day, both he loved immensely. The treasured Grandson of not only Richard and Kay Odgers but also his Grandma Jan Day Iodence all loved him so much. Along with his Aunts, uncles and many cousins. David is preceded in death by his big brother Daniel Day who he loved so dearly. David will be so very deeply missed for the rest of our lives, we will forever love him and cherish every precious moment that he was in our lives. A memorial will be held to honor him at the family farm where he enjoyed and spent much time. It will be Saturday March 14th at 2pm. 4625 E. County Rd #52, Fort Collins, CO 80524. Let us all come together and remember him for all the love and strength he gave us all... In lieu of flowers please donated to StandUpforkids.org (helping homeless & at risk youth).
