This weekend, Living Hope Church celebrated the life of our dear friend, charter member, and faithful servant of the Lord, Dave Woityra.
For decades, Dave faithfully served the Lord and this church in countless ways. He shared his musical gifts on the worship team, playing saxophone and other wind instruments, and he faithfully served behind the scenes as well, caring for the church campus, facility needs, landscaping, and more. Dave payed attention to the details that often go unnoticed. He loved the house of God and God’s people.
That being said, friends and family shared over the weekend that what many of us will remember most about Dave was the way he made people feel. Dave was a friend to all. His smile and laughter were contagious, he always had a joke to share, and he never seemed to run out of stories to tell. He was a faithful man of God, a loving husband, a devoted father, and a blessing to so many in our church and community.
Dave will be deeply missed by the Living Hope family. We grieve with hope, knowing that Dave is now in the presence of our Father in Heaven, joining the song of the angels, and giving worship and glory to God. He gave his all in worship of the Lord while here on earth, but now he does so face-to-face with Jesus.
We praise God for Dave’s life, his faithful witness, and the many ways he showed the love of Christ to all around him. We are grateful for the years we were blessed to call him our brother, friend, and fellow servant. We’ll see you soon, Dave! 🕊️
