Honoring the Life and Adventures of David G Welsh
David G Welsh, age 76, of Tempe, AZ. peacefully passed away on September 23rd 2026 surrounded by his loved ones. Born on June 3rd 1950 in Seattle Washington, he was the son of the late Jack and Eileen Welsh.
To know David G Welsh was to know a man who dedicated himself to his craft and his community. For 50 remarkable years, he worked as a talented pool service professional. It was a family owned business. Rain or shine, he was a familiar, trusted face across the Valley of the Sun, keeping local pools sparkling clean. He built deep, lasting relationships with his customers. His incredible work ethic was unmatched, and he took immense pride in a job well done.
When he wasn’t working, David Welsh lived for the great outdoors. He was a true adventurer at heart, happiest when breathing in the fresh mountain air. An avid fisherman, camper, and hiker, he spent lots of time exploring trails, pitching tents under the stars, and chasing the next big catch. His love for nature was infectious, and many of his family's most cherished memories were made around a crackling campfire, listening to his stories after a long day.
Above all, he was a deeply devoted father who taught his children the value of hard work and the importance of taking time to explore the world around them. His adventurous spirit, resilience, and warm heart will be profoundly missed by everyone who had the privilege of knowing him. He would listen to everyone and would always tell you how proud he was.
He is survived by his wife Maryanne Welsh, his children Franklin Welsh, Jacob Welsh and his grandchild Christian Welsh, and his sibling Doris Wojtulewicz. He was preceded in death by his parents.
