David Paul Skutecki

battling health complications on Wednesday, August 1, 2018, at the age of 61. He was born in Detroit,

Michigan on October 31, 1956 to his parents Wilma and Casimer Skutecki.

David attended the Air Force Basic Military Training School, served 20 years, earned many awards, and

traveled the world. In 1983 David welcomed his oldest son Brendon into the world in South Korea. Six

years later he welcomed his youngest son Damon in San Antonio, TX. After settling in Tucson, AZ David

gave back to the Tucson community as a leader and Supervisor at Rural Metro Emergency Medical

Services, volunteered at the Arizona Humane Society, and was also a volunteer firefighter. He would

proudly say that above all else he was a father, and a family man. David was a single father to two boys

until merging families with his wife Maria in 2001. They built a life together seeing their two sons and

two daughters into adulthood. In 2008 he welcomed his only Grandson, and best friend, Landon

Skutecki, to the family. Dave's sole focus in life was his family. He devoted every moment to keeping

them safe, and making them smile. Impossible to replace and unforgettably lovable, he is missed to the

highest degree.

He survived by his wife Maria Skutecki, two sisters, Paula Skutecki-Tarr and Pamela Jenson, two sons,

Brendon Skutecki (Danielle Sanchez) and Damon Skutecki (Ilda-Janette Wilson), two step daughters,

Ellen Caldwell (Jesus Meraz) and Lydia Caldwell, his grandson, Landon Skutecki, his niece, Merideth

Benjamin, his nephew, Daniel Jenson, and his great niece, Marin Benjamin.

Funeral services will be held at the East Lawn Palms Mortuary and Cemetery at 5801 E. Grant Rd. Tucson,
