He was the cherished son of Joan (Dulkowsky) Marks and the late Robert E. Marks, Sr. After graduating from high school, David pursued a career as an electrician, eventually becoming a Foreman in Local 103, where he dedicated 20 years of hard work.

Outside of his profession, David found solace in listening to classic rock at home, where his voice could often be heard singing along. Known for his kindness and humor, he loved spending time with his family, sharing dad jokes and bringing laughter to those around him.

David’s passions extended to the beach and nature, where he found peace and beauty.
