David T. Decoursey's Obituary
David T. Decoursey, age 54, of Rehoboth Beach, DE, passed away at Beebe Medical Center, Lewes, DE, on Sunday, July 22, 2012, after complications from a recent surgery. He was born February 21, 1958 in Perth Amboy, NJ, son of the late Joan (Sullivan) and Donald Decoursey.
David was a graduate of Concord High School, Wilmington, DE and a 1980 graduate of Wilkes College, Wilkes-Barre, PA. He also attended the Delaware School of Real Estate in Wilmington and Wor-Wic Community College, Salisbury, MD.
David was employed by E.I DuPont Nemours, Inc. of Wilmington for 25 years. After his career with DuPont, he was self-employed as a Certified Real Estate Appraiser for the last seven years.
David was an avid guitar player, loved music, sports and enjoyed nothing more than a long ride on his Harley. He especially loved his two Miniature Schnauzers, Regan and Riley. What his family will miss most is his warm personality, sense of humor and story-telling. One of his finest traits was his communication skills. Dave was truly a great conversationalist.
In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his brother, Peter Decoursey and his step-son Eric East. He is survived by his wife Dianne East-Decoursey; his brother Stephen Decoursey, husband of Mary-Claire; nephews, Tim and Tommy and niece Katie, all of Westborough, MA.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Friday, July 27, 2012 at 11:00 AM at St. Jude the Apostle Catholic Church, 152 Tulip Drive, Lewes, DE where friends may visit with the family beginning at 10:00 AM. Interment will be private. Arrangements by Parsell Funeral Homes & Crematorium, Lewes, DE.
