David Moulton

David Moulton, 60, died peacefully on October 24th, 2026 in hospice care at the Douglas Center for Caring surrounded by his loving family.

He loved life and each and every one of you.

David is predeceased by his father, Norman Moulton, maternal grandparents, Thomas and Veronica Fullen, paternal grandparents, Clifford and Margaret Moulton, father and mother in law, Gary and Janet Kuhns and many relatives and friends.

David was born an only child in Elizabeth, New Jersey in 1965. It was as if almost from birth, David’s strong work ethic, kind yet quick-witted personality and desire to become a sportscaster began. David was always seeking knowledge, so much so that at the age of 5, he walked out of kindergarten in the middle of the school day, crossed a major intersection to get home and began reading the newspaper. When asked by his mother why he was home early, he responded “I was bored” and continued reading. Since age 8 David could be found pretending to be a sportscaster while in the shower. He would answer “Curt Gowdy” when asked what he wanted to be when he grew up. Little did he know what his life would become.

David attended JP Stevens High School before graduating at age 17. It was in junior high school that he met his lifelong best friend, Steven Yurkunas. David went on to study Broadcast Journalism at Scranton University and began his expansive career in sportscasting at the young age of 20.

In his twenties, David was Sports Director at local television station WBNG in New York, where he met the love of his life, Julie Kuhns. Eager to begin their lives together, the two were married on June 8th, 1996 and soon after moved to Fargo, North Dakota where he continued working as Sports Director for KXJB. His favorite job of all-time, “dad” began when his daughter Melissa was born in Fargo in 1997. His happy family of 3 moved to Fort Myers, Florida in 2001 where he continued as Sports Director for ABC7.

In 2006 David began co-hosting the radio show “Miller and Moulton” with Mark Miller and in the first half of the show’s life, producer John Cassio, who were both like family to him. Over the years, Miller and Moulton shifted from an afternoon to a morning show and eventually became syndicated across 8 markets, one of David’s proudest accomplishments.

During the early days of Miller and Moulton, David was sought out by Gary Danielson and ended up working as his spotter for SEC games on CBS for 20 years. Gary became a truly trusted friend and mentor that David cherished.

While holding down the fort with Miller and Moulton on weekdays and Gary Danielson on weekends, David somehow managed to also serve as the radio voice of Florida Gulf Coast University’s men's and women's basketball, baseball and occasionally other sports teams. David traveled with both men’s and women’s basketball teams during March Madness and some of his favorite memories are from the men’s basketball 2013 NCAA tournament run when they became known as “Dunk City.”

David was an incredible writer and wrote hundreds of sports columns for the Naples Daily News and the News Press. He also filled in on NFL Radio and Mad Dog Radio on Sirius XM for well over a decade.

David served as Joe Buck’s spotter for Fox Golf for many years and was proud to call Joe a friend. David also served as Troy Aikman’s spotter for 8 NFL seasons, first on Thursday and Sunday nights on FOX and later shifted to Monday Night Football on ESPN. David considered Troy a trusted friend and colleague and it was in the beginning of their 9th season when he became too ill to continue.

David was proud to be a part of two winning Emmy teams: The 2017 Sports Emmy for Outstanding Live Sports Special for the 118th Army Navy Game on CBS and the 2022-2023 Sports Emmy for Outstanding Live Series for Monday Night Football ESPN Associate Producer.

Though he was known as a “sports encyclopedia” and loved studying, watching, writing and talking about sports, David’s proudest accomplishment in life was that as a father to Melissa and grandfather to Oakland and Reese. The two could be found driving to school singing at max volume to The Killers, Melissa Etheridge and Bruce Springsteen, attending Adele and Bruno Mars concerts together and staying up to watch The Devil Wears Prada and Pitch Perfect for the hundredth time.

David, you loved life and lived it with passion, humor, and most of all, loyalty and love. You are loved more than words can express. Thank you for blessing us with the gift of you and for sharing your beautiful life with us. We will always imagine hearing you say “HOWWWWW THE HECK ARE YA?” one more time. “Cherish every second” and you did exactly that. We love you!
