I am so sorry to hear of David's passing. He was a huge part of my life and taught me so much. He made me see this world through a different path. I will always have the memories of the peaks you helped me climb...

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.
My Uncle Dave never failed to be amazed by the little things life. On a hike outside Pueblo, Dave points out some particularly neat tree bark to me.

In loving memory of David Croker (1966-2018), much adored grandson of Ivy and Ted Croker (dec), son of Kevin (de c), nephew of Ron (dec) and Carol-Anne, cousin to Giancarlo Spadazzi in Australia. Condolences to Janet, Ginia, Tonnya, Holly and Tom.
It was a privilege watching you grow from energetic boy to strong, stable and adventurous man. As a raft guide many strangers put themselves in your capable hands to create lasting memories. I am grateful for you sharing your strong gentle masculinity with your little cousin. Carlo too became a young man in love with mountain and road cycling, and his much loved baseball. Sorry you couldn't tempt him with American football. He was old enough to keep strong memories of adventures with you both here and in America. We were blessed to have you in our lives and thrilled when you married your soul mate Ginia. Rest In Peace darling man no longer suffering.
