SHAY, DAVID JACK – Age 62, of Zephyrhills, FL, passed away due to an aortic aneurysm on June 8, while in Spokane, WA, visiting family.

David graduated from Atherton High School in Burton, MI, in 1976 and worked for 30 years for General Motors in Flint, MI, Lake Orion, MI, Spring Hill, TN, Lansing, MI and Fairfax, KS. In 1995, David graduated from Mott Community College in Flint with his Associate’s Degree in Marketing, a degree he pursued while also running a photography business in addition to his GM employment.

He was a passionate servant, serving as an usher in churches in each place he lived, while also serving in a custodial capacity for more than two years in Zephyrhills. He also loved being outdoors and camping, sports of many kinds, photography, and he was an avid rail fan. More than anything, though, David loved spending time with his family, and he loved to laugh.

his sister, Kathleen Shay of Fenton, MI; his uncle, Larry (Dorothy) Segroves of Ludington, MI;
