David James Oesterreicher

Nov 10 1978 - Nov 29 2018

David James Oesterreicher of Plano, Texas, passed away on November 29, 2018 at the age of 40. David was an inspiration to all who knew him. He was a peaceful man with a heart of gold. His caring ways and compassionate spirit brightened the day of everyone he met. Passionate about life, David loved the Cowboys and all things sports. He knew statistics and scores like no one else. David was a doting uncle who relished being involved in the lives of his nieces and nephew. A member of the Sent Church in Plano, Texas, David loved the Lord. He enjoyed spending time with his bible study group and being a part of his church family.

David began his journey of life on November 10, 1978, to proud and loving parents, James E. and Patricia A. (Mitas) Oesterreicher in Marion, Ohio.  Growing up, David spent his childhood following his favorite sports teams and sorting baseball cards. He enjoyed living in and exploring Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and California before making Texas his home where he graduated from Plano Senior High School. David’s competitive spirit led him to play wheelchair track and basketball where he flourished and found life-long friends. One of those, Melissa Klabunde, was not only a best friend, but became his loving wife of 14 years. David and Melissa married March 27, 2004 in Highland Village, Texas. Always an outgoing people person, David worked at Eckerd Drug Store and then found his niche assisting customers at the Stonebriar JCPenney store.
