Our Husband, Father, Papa, and friend, David "Dave" Grotts passed away unexpectedly in his home on April 2, 2025 after a brief illness.  Dave was born in Paris, France on September 17,1954 to John and
Elizabeth Grotts. After moving to Virginia at age 5, and then to Sierra Vista, Arizona in his early teens, he met the love of his life, Laura Moraign, and they married on December 20th, 1976. They added three beautiful daughters to their family: Christine, Jennifer, and Heather. Dave was Papa to five amazing Grandkids: Leif, Seth, Bryson, Mikenna, and  Ace. He also was the proud great grandfather to Ryker and Haven.
Dave was a pastor early in his adulthood, then switched to plumbing for the last 30 years of his life and he excelled at both careers. He loved his customers and was always willing to work for free if someone was in need.
Dave was a man who loved God and his family. He didn't know the word "no" and never met a person he didn't like. Dave loved watching his drag and funny car races, jamming on his many guitars to classic rock, spending time in the backyard bird watching and gardening his tomatoes, road trips with Laura, star gazing with Christine, hard rock concerts with Jennifer and Heather, and his little dog, Princess Leah.
Dave is survived by his loving wife, Laura, daughters Christine, Jennifer and Heather, grandsons Leif, Seth, Bryson and Ace, and great grandchildren Ryker and Haven. He was preceded in death by his parents, John and Elizabeth Grotts, siblings Terry and Tina (who passed 4 days before Dave), and his granddaughter, Mikenna Grace.
Dave always had a minute to listen to you, tell a joke, or share a memory. He always had time for his family and friends. He lived with a huge heart full of love for everyone.
David was a man that everyone genuinely loved and will truly be missed. We love you!
