David Allen Hufnagle , April 22, 1954 — December 04, 2018

David Allen Hufnagle, loved life and lived it to the fullest! David passed away from complications after a longtime battle of Marfan’s syndrome, on Tuesday, December 4, 2018 at his home. He was born in McKees Rocks one of two sons to the late Robert and Olga (Wasylyszyn) Hufnagle.

Beloved husband for 37 years to Melinda “Mindy” (Dragosljvich) Hufnagle; loving father of Michael (Dr. Maritza Harper) Hufnagle and Andrew Hufnagle; brother of Robert “Hufty” (Andrea) Hufnagle; uncle to Bryan (Shantae)Hufnagle and Ashley (Sean) MacDonald; great uncle to Garrett, Kennede and Alec, Rileigh and Owen. David, fondly known as “Snake”, was a 1972 graduate of Cornell High School and obtained his BS in Business Administration from Robert Morris University. His airline career, as lead stock clerk, began with Piedmont Airlines in 1986 and continued with US Airways then American Airlines.

David was a member of Potomac Air Lodge 1976 IAM&AW and was known by his beloved US Airways family as “Super Dave” or “Huff”. David had a deep appreciation for music and was an avid sports fan. Because David knew time and life was precious, he was spur of the moment traveler and never missed a chance to tell his family how much he loved them.

His uncanny ability of story-telling would leave everyone laughing, joking and just enjoying the “Good Dave Story”. David loved working with his hands especially wood-working. He and Mindy built the deck on their home in Moon Township.

One thing about David, he never let Marfan’s define or rob him of opportunities or life. He would say to all, “fight and never stop”. We will miss all the life-lessons that this gentle giant left as his legacy.
