David Decker Obituary

Dave played Snoopy in, "Your a Good Man Charlie Brown" at Harrison High School. He told great stories with a magic of delivery. As an employee of Colorado Springs Utilities I attended his retirement party because he had my respect. I asked him a couple of years later how he liked retirement and he replied, "I Love It". He made people feel at home and had a great sense of humor.

We will miss you.

My husband worked with Dave and spoke highly of him. You and your family are in my prayers. I have been in your shoes and it is very hard, I know that God will be with you and family and give you strength.

Dave, was shocked to hear of your passing. You'll be missed. "Wow, life is really short." - My condolences to the family.

To the entire Decker Family: I am sorry for your loss; my prayers are with you.

I did daycare for Lacey and Steven when they were just little ones. My heart goes out to the entire family and my prayers are with you.

Phyllis & Family,
So saddened to hear of Dave's passing. When I lived in the cul-de-sac he helped me get a skunk out of my garage one day! Such a good neighbor. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

To the Decker Family,
I got to know Dave in the Information Technology Dept of Springs Utilities. Dave was a lot of fun to talk to. He did have great stories and love to talk about his family. May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Dear Decker Family,

I have had the pleasure to work with both Dave and Sherry Decker at CSU. I always enjoyed talking with Dave about his love of baseball especially when he was coaching his son. Just through his words and conversation it was so obvious how much he loved his family. He was a great guy and I am so sad to hear this news.

My condolensce to the family. I was the dispatcher for water when I first met Dave 30 years ago. He was a great friend and co worker

I just heard today about Dave. Dave was and will always be an important friend in my life. Many laughs, many great conversations about life and politics. He definitely was family and will be sorely missed, but not forgotten. He loved his family and friends and always was great to talk to about anything. We are praying for Phyllis and family as you go through this difficult time.
Love,
Nick and Gina

I was a classmates of Dave's at Harrison High School. He loved to be on stage and have all the attention. He will be missed.

Dave is the one that trained me in as an operator at the Mesa Plant in 1974. Everything had to be just “so” with conviction and dedication to the water that we were treating. He also was a listening ear with heart felt concern when I lost one of my children. He was really "there" for me like no-one else. He was a great story teller with his on "one of a kind" theatrics thrown in. I really loved this guy and no one has even come close to the friend he really was during our time at Mesa. I am sorry that we lost touch over the years.
Phyllis, please except my sincere condolences to you and your families lost. There is no doubt that he was a great husband, father, grandfather, and friend to the ones he loved and adored.

I am so very sorry for your loss, my prayers and thoughts go out to you. I will miss Dave.

Dave is the person that broke me in an as operator as the Mesa Plant in 1975. He is also the person that had a listening ear and heart felt sympathy during a very rough time in my life in losing one of my children.
I will always remember Dave for his idea of trying a new idea until it proves itself wrong before changing it and his great ability to tell a good story with theatrics thrown in.
Dave definitely impacted my life in a very positive way. Though I have not had contact with him in years he was a very special individual to me. My heart goes out to Phyllis and his family.
Please except my sincere condolences at this great time of great loss.
