Obituary For David Joseph Waldrup

David Joseph Waldrup, 69, passed away peacefully, yet suddenly, of a heart attack on Tuesday, February 11th.

He was the soul mate of wife, Kathryn Waldrup; father to Jennifer Jones, Stacey Waldrup, and Scott Waldrup; and stepfather to Danielle Luja and Marissa Weiss.

He was a generous dad with his time, patience, understanding, and love. His grandkids, Owyn, Liam, Delaney, and Carter were his pride and joy. Dave was a devoted brother to his six siblings and he loved his nieces and nephews.

He was loved by his golf buddies and loved them along with his golf game, though the game frequently didn't like him. Dave was fun, had a great sense of humor, was intelligent with a passion for life, and insatiably curious.

Friends and neighbors alike all agree he was a great man. We will miss him greatly!

The family requests that no flowers be sent, but instead that donations be made in David's memory to St. Jude Children's Hospital.

David was my cousin , we were born not even a month apart. Because my uncle moved all over while we were young , we haven't seen each other in years. I have thought of him often and he will be missed.

Though David and I had little contact over the years we were very close in spirit. We trained for marathons and road races in the 80's and 90's. I have wonderful memories of Saturday runs in Soddy Daisy and our kids growing up together. May god watch over his family.
