David is survived by his daughter Elizabeth Joyce of San Francisco, siblings Steve Joyce and Karen Joyce of Eden and Tom Joyce, of Reidsville.
David was born on April 19th in Eden, NC to Roger and Havens Joyce. He graduated from Rockingham Community College in 1976 with an Associates degree in Applied Sciences. After moving to Greensboro, NC began working as a programmer for Burlington Industries, and later for Volvo as an analyst. His daughter Elizabeth was born in 1982 and he immediately began teaching her how to take things apart and – sometimes – put them back together again. As a father, he is fondly remembered for his patience, unfailing support, and his gift for “dad jokes”.
David will be remembered for his sense of humor, friendship, and dedication to the Greensboro Jaycees. He volunteered for more than 30 years with the Jaycees, serving in leadership positions on the golf tournament and annual holiday parade. His friends remember his intricate practical jokes and fondness for puns, along with his passion for continually improving operations on the projects he cared about.
David’s family welcomes you to celebrate his life during a service that will be held on Sunday, August 5th at 4:00PM at Hanes-Lineberry Funeral Home, 515 N. Elm St. in Greensboro. The family will receive guests immediately following the service at Hanes-Lineberry. To conclude, everyone is welcome to join the family at a reception at Europa Bar & Café.
