DAVID POPE
June 17, 1956 August 3, 2020
David Pope, 64, passed peacefully at home on Aug 3rd 2020 due to cancer. David was born on June 17th 1956 in Covington, Kentucky to Joan and John Pope and a longtime resident of Colorado Springs. He enjoyed golfing and was passionate about nature.
David and his wife Febra opened a Boutique and Art Gallery in Old Colorado City. This venture opened David's eyes to art and he enjoyed working with local artist. He was a loving husband, father, brother and grandfather and his humor will be missed by all.
David is survived by his wife Febra, two sons, Cody and Matt, mother-in-law Pat and daughter-in-law Jill. David is a grandfather to three boys Tyler, Zane and Zoar. David also has two brothers Danny and John and two sisters Phyllis and Becky.
David fought the fight with everything he had, now he is at peace and has been welcomed into heaven by all whom preceded him.
A celebration of his life will be held at a later date.

I will always remember and appreciate all of his hard work to promote the art he loved. He had so much hope to promote it going forward. I miss him and his enthusiasm. 3 years have passed too quickly.

I am so sad to learn that David's struggle ended this past August. I will miss his genuine smile and friendship. David was always willing to share his business knowledge and collaborate with other small business owners for a win-win on the Avenue. May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief. He will be sorely missed.

I will miss my Brother David every single day of my life left here on earth...He was so dear to our family, He was the smartest and bravest man I know...He fought cancer with every breath he had including his last...He was grateful for the life he had lived he said when finding out about his cancer , but wanted many more years with Febra and Cody and his family..He was a good step Dad and loved Matt very much. Growing up with David was a lot of fun..all 6of us kids had lots of adventures..we were each other’s best friends...So soar with the eagles my handsome Brother and send my love to Mom and Dad and our sister Judy who left this world too soon as well ...May God Shine His Face upon you ...I Love You..
