David James DeMarco of La Grange Texas passed away on Monday, April 15th, at the age of 80 years old. David was born in Plum, TX on December 9th, 1943, the son of Michael & Bessie DeMarco. Bessie later married Edwin Zbranek and David then had the father he so loved and who made him the man he was, until Edwin’s death in 1980. He married the love of his life, Catherine (Cathy) Kolek on October 24, 1964. They spent close to 60 years living, loving and laughing together. They had so much fun together. The best times they had were bickering with each other over everything.
He was a truck driver for La Grange Concrete for over 30 years and retired at the age of 62. He was a loving husband, Dad, Popo, brother and friend to many. David enjoyed spending time with his wife and family, barbecuing for family holidays and get togethers, raising cattle, riding around his pasture on his 4-wheeler with his best boy Chico, and last but definitely not least, enjoying many a cold beer with good friends at Post Oak Inn.
He was a simple man who enjoyed simple pleasures, took life in stride and always found a reason to smile. Even in his last hours, he was smiling and talking about his cool helicopter ride at 80 after telling people his entire life that if God wanted him to fly, He would have put feathers on him!
David is survived by his wife Cathy, daughters Kim Sanders & husband Ron of Houston, Belinda Richter & husband Wayne of LaGrange, his sister Betty Regan of Buda, grandchildren Lauren Sanders of Houston, Landon Sanders of Austin, Crystal Graeter and her husband Chris of Fayetteville and great grandchildren Aubree & Witten Graeter. He was preceded in death by his parents Edwin and Bessie Zbranek.
Visitation will be held on April 27, 2024 from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. at Koenig-Belvill Funeral Home & Cremations, La Grange, Texas.
Following Visitation, A Celebration of Life will be held at Post Oak Bar & Grill, 1114 FM 155, La Grange, Texas.
