David A. Moran Jr.

A dedicated teacher and guidance counselor, David left an unmistakable impression on all the children he helped educate and support during his over 40-year tenure with Gordon Tech High School (now DePaul College Prep) in Chicago. In his spare time, David loved to travel and immensely enjoyed attending live theater productions. Later in life, this passion led him to be a member of the choral group at Brookdale Senior Center in Des Plaines. David’s strong faith and compassion led him to lead a life that undoubtedly will be felt by all those he knew.

Born October 4, 1944, to the late David A. Moran, Sr. and the late Scholastica Moran (nee Ethen), David was the loving brother of Joan Moran, Thomas (Janice) Moran, Margaret (the late Michael) Phelan, Philip (Patricia) Moran, and Michael (Diane) Moran, dear uncle of nine nieces and nephews: Kelly, Michael, Scott, Megan, Tom, Vanessa, Jillian, Jennel, and Katie; and fond great uncle of 18.
