David Brian Dasnoit's Obituary
David Brian Dasnoit passed away peacefully, with family by his side, on October 15th, 2025, at the age of 61. He fought a long, hard, and courageous battle with cancer. As we grieve, we find some peace knowing he is now cancer free, pain-free, and resting in the arms of Jesus.
Everyone who knew David will remember his sarcasm and jokes. He loved to laugh and to make people laugh. They will also remember his kindness, generosity, and willingness to help others.
David loved animals and had many over the years. He loved to sit on his back porch and watch the birds and squirrels in the morning with his cup of coffee. He and Melissa enjoyed going to Busch Gardens and Adventure Island together over the years. They also enjoyed going to local markets and craft shows on the weekends, watching sunsets on the beach, going to Lightning hockey games and going to praise and worship Jesus at Grace Family Church.
David served his country in the U.S. Navy and worked in the printing industry most of his life. He eventually moved into the sign making industry with his last job being at Fastsigns South Tampa. There he had found his niche doing something he loved with great people around him. He was always a quick learner and very hard worker.
