David Margos

2024 has already cut too deep, my friend. Jo and I think the world of you personally and I have nothing but appreciation for our past work relationship. I am forever thankful that our carpooling and unfiltered conversations led to a lasting friendship. I’m constantly grateful by the things I still learn and experience by our remembered adventures, a few disagreements, more than often meeting of the minds, and our unique ability to strategize and analyze our way through complex projects. Each always seemed to activate deeper laughs and exaggerated retelling of our experiences. Regardless of the day, the time involved, or the dilemma you have shown up extending a dependable helping hand. I can still see you pulling up in that white van as I looked over my shoulder after I had already said over the phone that I can figure it out on my own. A powerhouse of skills, talent, and that trademark Margos’ authentic enthusiasm delivered with your keen insight and sharp intellect. Along with your wicked wit and razzing at an entirely different level than most could hope to achieve. You have been a mentor and a brother to me. Jo and I have deeper-than-describable heartfelt gratitude for your countless spirited words and impactful actions. Your supportive generosity and raw honest advice has always been in Jo’s and my best interest and has left a profound impression on us both. Our memories carry a common theme- your undeniable and unwavering bright and wide-eyed zest to find something new to tackle and improve. We have all been made better by knowing you. You are a great soul that can wholeheartedly build it; fix it; catch it; hunt it; clean it; cook it, all with a giving nature, skillfully mingling and sharing a scotch on the rocks. It’s evident you were born with a multifaceted spirit and that besides your incredible kindness, grit and gusto have always been your approach to life. I will sorely miss your physical presence, but the various conversations continue… in the fields, the rivers, the duck blind, the lakes, on my back porch, or at the kitchen table. Quite simply, anytime and everywhere. In fair winds and following seas, until we meet again- fish on! Your good buddy, David

The name says it all Dave, United Airlines and Davids are always the guys that get things done and are talented beyond most like David Campbell, David Carrol and Mr. Margos. I had the pleasure to get to know Dave on the trip to Alaska to Help Peggy get her addition done and as always Dave had the vision when we realized the trusses were configured the wrong way and he instantly had a fix, because in Alaska you just don't get things done by going to the store and finding everything you need. I also got to witness a couple of guys and see how scotch on the rocks looks like after a long day of work, wow! Dave will be missed by so many and the stories he could tell and his love for life and a challenge that needs to be fixed with no tools. God Blees you brother and we will see you on the other side someday.

This is being sent for my oldest brother Gene Martinez. This is a retro view of a 21th Century Renaissance Man born in the 20th Century with a Monkey Wrench in the back of his Union birthday suit. Yes, David was guilty of taking apart the Family toaster when he was a toddler…But he reassembled it to working order. His siblings beamed smiles and double thumbs-up and together yelled with glee, “ Good boy, David!” That day, that very moment, was born his impish Irish Leprechaun’s grin which he would Wear in the ensuing years when happiness overwhelmed him. Salida Mountain lore and/or legend, the toaster was reported to offer “ on demand fresh cinnamon French toast!” Some retro fit, huh, readers? Told you David has a great talent for mechanical things. Thank you for listening to my blarney, my Hyperbole…( Warning there’s more!) David was/is a caring soul. During his time on this plane, loved his family, his wife Deb, and his four Legger, Brodie Dog! Ask this canine what he thinks of David: watch his eyes light up brighter than prison spotlights; watch him gyrate liked crazed samba dancers. For all the friends you made while you were with us, David Margos, we say Small wonder this small Wonder has/ had so many friends. Brother Gene/ Martinez family

This is being sent for a Airpark friend Anne Herzog……. I’ll never forget David. He and my husband, George, became friends while living in the Airpark, and also worked together at United Airlines. They both shared. Love of flying. David and George were not only friends, but, as Debbie and I agreed, were like brothers. When George became ill, David was always there for him, and also for me. David and Debbie were both so helpful and caring when I lost George. David helped me whenever help was needed, and was very kind. David always had a big smile on his face, and a very hearty laugh. I loved his great sense of humor. He was kind, giving, caring man, who was there when anybody needed a helping hand. I feel blessed to have had him in our lives. He will be missed so much. Thank you David! Love, Anne
