David Scott Kwiatkowski

On Tuesday, September 12, 2023, David Scott Kwiatkowski (55) of Nunnelly, Tennessee passed away suddenly with his wife by his side at the beautiful farm they built together. Wal-Mart and Harbor Freight stock prices sharply fell with the news of his passing. He is survived by his high school sweetheart and wife of almost 34 years, Shannon (Kirby) Kwiatkowski; two children, Stefan (30) and Reagan (24); 3 loyal, overly spoiled, and overly fed dogs; and a multitude of chickens. He was the first child of Harry Kwiatkowski and Judith Brown Kwiatkowski of Orlando, Florida. He later became the big brother of his childhood companion sister, Kimberly. He is the brother-in-law of Gary Neil Kirby (Anna) of Advance, Indiana, and uncle of Brenden Kirby of Gothenburg, Sweden, and Richard (Jenifer) Kirby of Valparaiso, Indiana. If you ever had a conversation with David, he probably showed you pictures of his USAF pilot son, his team pictures from playing sled hockey with the Nashville Sled Preds, or the many building or remodeling projects he so enjoyed. David's greatest joy was giving to others. He found humor in everything and never missed an opportunity to laugh. Scaring someone or playing a harmless joke gave him the greatest laughs, and he sometimes took it well when he was on the receiving end. He was a teacher and a multi-sport athlete; he paid it forward by coaching many middle and high school teams. His last 6-weeks were spent teaching a special needs class, and he thoroughly enjoyed his students. He prioritized time with his family at all times throughout his life. Above everything, he was the best husband, son, father, brother, and friend. His love was and is endless. Although he had become a double-leg amputee while living in Tennessee, he never let that slow him down; he was always up for an adventure and enjoyed nature. Watching ghost shows and ghost hunting had become a favorite pastime, leading us to believe he's planning on being a familiar spirit occasionally. Be on the lookout for a ghost with prosthetic legs. A celebration of life will be held at another time. Please share his kindness by donating to your local animal shelter or organization.
