David (Dave) John Degiorgio Jr Obituary (1948 - 2015)

David (Dave) John Degiorgio, Jr. Ogden - Dave, 66, passed away on Saturday, March 28, 2015 after a long but courageous, some have said miraculous battle with cancer. He was born August 20, 1948 to David John and Amelia Ropelato Degiorgio. He graduated from Weber High School in 1966 and devoted the rest of his life to farming. Dave was a dairy farmer and was respected in the community for his strong work ethic, generous spirit, and his positive attitude and outlook on life. Dave married Annette Kidd Degiorgio on September 10, 1971. He was very proud of his Trentini Italian heritage and was able to travel to Trento to visit his family's homeland. He was active in the Trentini Club of Ogden. Dave made friends and acquaintances wherever he went and looked forward to the neighborhood "Lighting Ceremony" every December where he welcomed family, friends, and the community. It was a day he looked forward to sharing each holiday season. Dave is survived by his wife, Annette; daughter and son-in-law, Lisa (Andre) Worthy, Danny Turner (Chad Degiorgio); sister, Carol Herold (Richard) and brother, John (Patrece) Degiorgio; aunts, uncles; cousins, nieces and nephew. He was preceded in death by his son, Chad and his parents. Our family wishes to extend a special thanks to his friends who were always there to help. We will miss his contagious smile and laugh- we will miss you Farmer Dave.
