David Walter Vaden

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the peaceful passing of our beloved David, on Monday, September 23, 2024. He left us so sweetly from his home and surrounded by his family thanks to the amazing care of Tennova Hospice. We do not have enough words to express our family’s overwhelming gratitude for helping him spend his last months comfortably and supporting all of us as we helped him leave this earth on his terms.

David was born in Nashville, TN to Don and Janie Vaden. He iss preceded in death by his father, Don Vaden. He is survived by his mom, Janie (Gene) Vaden-Reisinger; siblings, Tommy (Hollie) Vaden and Marie (Brad) Eppes; children: Jonathan Vaden, Tyler Vaden, Jessica Vaden, and Stephanie Vaden; and grandson, Carson Vaden.

David was a private person, known for his quiet strength and his love for the simple pleasures in life. He was a compassionate animal lover. He found peace by the ocean, his favorite place, and in accordance with his wishes, no formal service will be held. His earthly remains will be spread in the sun and sand of Florida, a place that brought him joy. He has been embraced by the eternal grace of his Heavenly Father. David's memory will live on in our hearts forever, and we take comfort knowing he is finally at peace. We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone for their love and support.

“Those we love don’t go away, they walk beside us every day…Unseen, unheard, but always near, still loved, still missed and very dear.”- Unknown
