David Nance

David Nance, 69, of Norwalk, CT was called home to be with the Lord on Saturday, September 14, 2024.

David was born on April 21, 1955 to the late Emma Mae Sloan Nance and William “Billy” Nance at Norwalk Hospital.

Throughout his life, David was known for his “go-getter” attitude and hustler mentality. David was jack of many trades, but most paramount was the years he spent in the U.S. Army and the time he spent managing his father’s hair drying service since 1998.

David will always be remembered for his kind heart and willingness to help others. In addition, his profound commitment to his faith. God has always played a pivotal part in David’s life, with the Lord’s Prayer being one of his favorite scriptures.

Family was of the upmost importance to David. Whenever he had the chance to spend time with his family members and close friends, he jumped at the opportunity. David took much joy in being a grandfather to his ten grandchildren, who affectionately referred to him as “Papa”.
