David Mercer Obituary
David Allen Mercer, 61, passed away unexpectedly
on March 8, 2024 in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
Dave was born on June 27, 1962 to his parents,
Maurice and Nancy in Flushing, New York, and was raised alongside his sister,
Deborah in Miami, FL. He graduated from Palmetto High School in 1980, and went
on to earn his Masters degree in Accounting from the University of Miami. Dave
started his career as an accountant at KPMG, before setting out in pursuit of
his pilot license. Becoming an airline pilot was Dave's dream, and his career
at Northwest/Delta Airlines was the perfect way for Dave to do what he enjoyed
most.
Besides spending time with family and friends,
Dave loved to explore the world. He embraced each destination with an open
heart and curious mind, immersing himself fully in the culture, sites and
sounds of every place he visited. Dave found joy in forging connections with
people from all walks of life, and would take long walks in local towns and
parks, always making friends along the way. One of Dave's favorite places to
visit was New York City. Being born in Flushing, he had a special bond with the
surrounding areas and made sure to try to visit every year for his birthday. He
frequently visited Romania to visit with his girlfriend's family, and in winter
months, he would go on family ski trips to Colorado.
Dave was a regular contributor to his alma mater
as well as Saint Jude Children's Hospital.
Dave is preceded in death by his parents, Maurice
and Nancy.
He will be dearly missed by those who survive him:
sister, Deborah (Bill), and their children, Alexa, Will, Sam; aunt, Alice;
cousins, Kris, Eric, and Jeff; significant other, Georgeta; and many extended
family members and friends.
Per Dave's wishes, cremation has taken place and a
private family celebration will be held at a later date.

walk the Earth with your eyes turned skywards, for there you have been and
there you will long to return"
