David is survived by his mother, Dawn Ann Daily; step father, Andrew William Daily; dad, Charles John Fuerstenau; grandfather, Salvatore Zinna; step grandmother, Jennifer Patricia Zinna; grandmother, Karen Blair; step grandfather, David Blair. David was born in Houston, Texas in the winter of November 30th, 1986. David, a blue-eyed, blonde hair child, had a love for life that was even apparent as a young man. As a child he took an interest in such sports as baseball and karate, sports that would be the foundation of his life in learning discipline and the value of teamwork; characteristics that would help him as he grew up and pursued his other interest in life. David attended Clark High School in San Antonio, Texas. In school, David began to take an interest in science and history. Also, he began his artistic skills in drawing, music, dancing and magic. In combining all of these interests and skills, David was known as being a bright intelligent as well as humorous, kind and loving. After high school, David, as every young man does, looked into different avenues available to him to help him pursue his goals in life. In growing up David always admired and respected his grandfather, Salvatore Zinna. His grandfather showed him that through hard work and determination that a person can reach their goals and dreams. David worked with his grandfather and obtained his plumber's apprenticeship license and continued working with him until the year 2011. In 2011, David made what would be a life turning decision and joined the Marines. David served, with honors, two terms in Afghanistan and obtained the rank of Lance Corporal. David was discharged from the Marines in 2013 and from there he pursued his interest in aviation electronics in Dallas, Texas. David obtained high marks in school and was preparing to graduate in the spring of 2015 when his life came to a sudden end. David is loved and well liked by family and friends and we are blessed to have had him touch our lives in so many different ways. We will never know why God called David home so early in life but this is not goodbye, but until we meet again. We will always love you, David, now and forever.
