David Michael Ivins of Oakford died peacefully on Sunday, October 29, 2017 in his residence. He was 68.

Born in Abington, PA, David was the son of the late Raymond C. and Irene Stewart Ivins.

David grew up in Feasterville and was a graduate of Neshaminy High School where he excelled in football and track.  He was a member of  the state championship 4 by 4 relay team whose record stood for many years.  Shortly after graduation, David enlisted in the Army and proudly served 2 years in Vietnam for our country.  David worked for many years at the Philadelphia Ship Yard and the Tobyhanna Army Depot. But most recently he worked on the electrical components for large wind turbines at the Gamesa Company in Fairless Hills.  

He was an avid motorcyclist who enjoyed rides throughout the countryside with Barbara on his Triumph Motorcycle.  David enjoyed time spent in the sun, surf, and the company of friends and family at his favorite Jersey Shore destination, Cape May.  David will be greatly missed, but eternally loved by everyone who had the pleasure to have had him in their lives. 

David is survived by his loving son David J. Ivins of Oakford and his three grandchildren Javin, Amber, and Caleb.  He is also survived by his dear friend and partner Barbara Yerkes, his beloved sisters: Nancy I. Jackson, Connie E.
