Dave was well known in the musical scene around Grand Junction. If you ever went to karaoke or
walked down Main Street on a nice day you may have had the pleasure of watching him perform. Dave
loved to spend time with his daughters, granddaughter, family and friends. His hobbies included
traveling, reading a good book, and writing captivating memories of his life experiences but his favorite
hobby of all was karaoke and entertaining. Dave was one-of-a-kind, a true gentleman. He was a caring
and gentle soul who always had a smile on his face, was full of laughter and gave the best hugs.
Dave was preceded in death by his parents John and Huberta Faricy and his brothers Marty and Dennis
Faricy. He is survived by his former spouse Bernadine Faricy and their daughters Jessica Faricy and Tracie
Faricy, his granddaughter Emerie Clampitt, brother Larry (Diane) Faricy, sister-in-law Noelle Faricy and a
large extended family.
