David Joseph Marye
entered the world on
December 8, 1935, to be
the only son of Joseph
and Carolina Marye
(deceased). He peacefully
exchanged this earth for
his heavenly home on July 5, 2022, at the age of 86. A
ceremony of his life was held July 12, 2022, and he was
laid to rest in Grand Junction Memorial Gardens with
many family and friends in attendance.
David is survived by his beloved wife, Jan Callison
Marye, of 59 years, their 3 children: Katina Mayrose
(Jim), Lisa Marye (Tom), and Shane Marye (Melodie);
5 wonderful grandchildren; and 7 great-grandchildren.
David is also survived by his cherished sister, Darlene
Fuller, and many other family members, all of whom
were dear to him.
Born and raised in Grand Junction, Colorado, David
became an Eagle Scout and later graduated from GJHS.
He attended Biola Bible College and subsequently
served 4 years in the Armed Forces as a Navy Chief
Machinist Mate to his Captain, a job he enjoyed and
took pride in. His job gave him opportunities to travel
the world and David loved to share stories of his years
of service and what it meant to him.
David was skilled and diverse vocationally. He
worked in a number of industries during his lifetime,
most notably as the owner of Marye Electric, 1st Choice
Homes, and Tigger Construction (home building).
A true mountain man, David loved hunting, fishing,
4-wheeling, and snowmobiling. He was enamored with
the history of the Grand Valley and surrounding area,
excited when he would come upon an old abandoned
cabin in the woods or various wildlife.
He respected and enjoyed nature, and shared many
stories of his adventures with family and friends. In
his later years, David studied gold processing, which
led to new adventures in the outdoors. David always
welcomed a chance to visit with folks and swap stories
of life and of Colorado’s beauty.
The memories of David Marye live on in those who
loved and knew him.
