Obituary of David R. Welch

David R. Welch, age 63, of Trumbull, passed away peacefully on Saturday, December 31, 2022 at St. Vincent's Medical Center after a courageous battle with lung cancer. Born in Sewickley, PA on September 20, 1959, he was a son of Douglas and Gwendolyn (Richards) Welch and was a longtime resident of Trumbull.

Dave loved traveling around the world with his partner Marty and they attended many concerts. He was an extraordinary cook who loved fine wines and hosting dinner parties. He also enjoyed water sports, crossword puzzles, reading and, as a software engineer, programming was his passion. His greatest joy came from spending time with loved ones and his generosity was endless.

Survivors include his loving partner of 27 years, Martha Accardi; a son, Andrew Welch; daughters, Jennifer Yates and her husband Jake, Sarah Welch and her fiancé Justin Brann, and two cherished grandchildren, Jay Yates and Banks Brann; brothers, Garth Welch and his wife Jody, and Duncan Welch and his wife Kim. He is also survived by Martha's children, Lisa Accardi and Michael Accardi and her grandchildren, Stowe and Althea.
