VARNUM, David, of Lithia, passed away May 31, 2019 after a brave battle with cancer, following 66 years of telling corny jokes, befriending telemarketers, checking his eyelids for pinholes (taking naps) and striking up long conversations with random strangers. His greatest joy in life was being a dad and granddad, and his love for family and friends extends beyond life. He leaves behind his high school sweetheart and beloved wife of 45 years, Penny; sons Justin (Serena) and Kyle (Aimee); daughter Kristin; adored grandchildren Bailee, Wyatt, and Emma; brother Don (Doreen); brothers-by-marriage Thom Beck, Terry Beck; sisters-in-law April, Lori, Liz, Michelle, Deborah; and countless other family members and friends. He is predeceased by parents L.A. and Marie Varnum; and sister-in-law, Susan. A memorial will be held on Saturday, June 8, at Serenity Meadows, with visitation at 10:00am followed by an informal Memorial 11:00-12:00. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to LifePath Hospice or Moffitt Cancer Center, or set aside time to spend with those you love; David would love that.
