It is with great sadness that the family of David Aviles, announces his passing after a brief illness, on Saturday, April 1, 2017 at the age of 53 years. His final days were spent surrounded by family. David was born and raised in Phoenix, AZ. David’s life would seem too short to many, but those who were touched by him understood the quality of existence far exceeds the quality of time in which one lives. His smile and his humor brought much joy to all of us. He graduated from Thunderbird High School and continued his education at Glendale Community College. He is survived by his loving mother Bobbi, brother Anthony, sister Dina (Joe), nephews Christian, Noah, Zackary, Nico, Luke and niece Alexandra. He was preceded in death, and now reunited with his father Alex and brother Larry. Friends and family are invited to attend visitation 4-5 p.m. on Monday, April 17, 2017, at Menke Funeral Cremation Center, 12420 N. 103rd Ave., Sun City. Funeral mass will be held on Tuesday, April 18, 2017 at 10:00 a.m. at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church, 5614 W. Orangewood Ave, Glendale.
