David began volunteering with Hilliard Adopt-A-House in June 2009. From 2009 through 2019 he served on 79 days for over 550 hours, helping seven families realize their dream of home ownership.
This is his obituary as it appeared in the Columbus Dispatch:
Yocom, David R., age 68, of Hilliard, Ohio passed away on
June 2, 2020. He was born on February 28, 1952 in Byran,
Ohio to the late Donald and Dorothy (Ferree) Yocom. David
leaves behind his loving wife Karen A. (Lengerich) Yocom;
daughters Katherine M. Yocom-Delgado and Rebecca (Victor)
Roehm; brother Neal (Judy) Yocom; sister Ruth Yocom.
David
honorably served his country in the U.S. Army during the
Vietnam War. David was a teacher for many years at Urbana
High School. He will be deeply missed by his family and friends.
A celebration of life service for David will be held at a later date.
In lieu of flowers the family requests that no memorial donations
be made but that you donate your time in service to others just
as David did. |
