David K. Fay

David K. Fay, age 67, passed away peacefully with family members at his side on Thursday, August 1, 2019.

He was born in Cornwall, NY and was the son of the late Robert E. and Dorothy E. Fay.  Despite some challenging disabilities, he enjoyed a rich set of experiences including travel, music, trains, planes, beaches, and photograph collecting.  His special needs elicited the very best kindnesses, skills, humor, and love from the many people who helped him adapt and prevail throughout his life.

David is survived by brothers Robert Fay (Meredith), William Fay (Jean), nieces Jeaneane, Carolyn, and Mary, nephews Andrew and Will, aunts, cousins, and his extended family at Chimes.

The family extends a very sincere thank you to Chimes, Christiana Care, the Delaware Division of Developmental Disability Services, Interim HealthCare, and ManorCare for their compassion throughout his health challenges during this last year.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions can be made to Chimes Inc., 514 Interchange Blvd. Newark DE 19711.

    I just wanted to send my sympathy to all of you. I know this last year, especially, was difficult for David and for all of you. We so enjoyed Libby's stories of David and when she brought him to Concord over the years, and it cheers my heart that she was there to welcome him home. Thinking of you all. Marj

    In my recollection David and Bob were our first visitors when we moved onto Mineral Springs Road. I was going into third grade that year, 1963. David loved trains, Blacky the Black Lab loved to chase rocks and Billy became a great friend. Fond memories. I am sorry for your loss.
