Survived by his loving wife, Sharon; daughter, Sandra Kopacko (James), and son, Michael (Laura); grandsons Calvin Kopacko and Luke and Nicklas Shrake; brother, Dennis (Jolene), sister-in-law, Irene, and many nieces and nephews. Pre-deceased by son, Scott, parents George and Hilda, siblings Nancy, Suzanne, George, Richard and Donald. He is a descendant of Robert “King” Carter and other Carter family members who settled and owned land in the early 1600s in Manassas, Virginia, near the Civil War battle of Bull Run.
David was proud of his miliary service, having survived boot camp at the infamous Parris Island recruit depot, then served with the 2nd, 8th and 24th U.S. Marine Regiments.
He was a proud Grandpa and enjoyed watching his grandsons play in their sporting activities. He also liked to travel both abroad to Australia, Italy, France and the Caribbean and in the U.S. to California, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah, Maine, New York, his favorites being Key West, Destin and Naples, Florida. He enjoyed his wife’s cooking, easy listening jazz and reminiscing.
David retired in 2002 after a 38-year banking career. In retirement, he proudly held a part-time Greeter position with the A.H. Peters Funeral Home. He often commented that it was the perfect job considering all the dark “banker” suits he owned. Aside of a happy home life, his position with A.H. Peters gave him purpose in retirement, until his subsequent retirement from there.
Visitation on Friday from 2:00 to 8:00 with a memorial service on Saturday at 10:00.
Memorial contributions in lieu of flowers to American Cancer Society or Grosse Pointe Pet Adoption are requested.
