David A. Oliver, 40, passed away unexpectedly on Monday, February 24, 2025, at Doctors Hospital West. Born on December 22, 1984, in Columbus, Ohio, David was a vibrant and outgoing person with a larger-than-life personality. He had a unique way of making people laugh, and at times, could be just as quick to frustrate you. David was an avid fisherman and a passionate foodie, dreaming of someday opening his own food truck. Despite facing struggles with addiction and making mistakes along the way, David lived life and was a free spirit with a full heart. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him. Preceded in death by his mother, Donna Oliver and sister, Amber Oliver Jenkins. Survived by his children, Andrea Oliver, Calina and Chloe Appleyard; and Anthony; granddaughter, Katalinah and a grandson on the way; siblings, Tiffany, Brian, Eric, Brittany, Katie, Mark, Andrew and Jonathan; many nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends. Visitation will be held from 5-7 pm on Wednesday, March 5, 2025 at Advantage Funeral and Cremation Services by Schoedinger Hilltop, 3030 W. Broad Street, Columbus, Ohio 43204
