David Anthony Kozup, 66, of Punta Gorda, Florida, passed away unexpectedly on Wednesday, July 24, 2024, in Port Charlotte, Florida.

David was born in Pennsylvania on a Friday, November 22, 1957, to the late Edward Paul Kozup, Sr & Helen (Charnichko) Kozup. Though born in Pennsylvania, Dave grew up in Plainfield New Jersey, and was a man of deep faith who loved Jesus and would spread the Lord’s word to everyone. His love of God was first and foremost in his life. Dave was a master woodworker, craftsman, and carpenter for 45 years who learned his trade by the master carpenter of all, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He loved his trade and craft with a passion. He was meticulous with his work and took the time to also teach all of his skills to his apprentices. A prime example of a few of his accomplishments was the renovation work done on the Shaker Village in Enfield, New Hampshire, and the Norman Rockwell Museum in New York. Dave was a very devoted husband to his wife Audrey. His love for her was unwavering. It has been said that no matter where David went in life, even if simply to the local store for something, people would instantly recognize David and take time to say hello to him, because he was just that kind, and likable a guy. He will be profoundly missed by everyone, but most deeply by those who loved him and knew him well.

In addition to his parents Ed (1990) & Helen Kozup (1991), David was preceded in death by his brothers Daniel (2021), and Joseph (2022), and a nephew, Howard Harrigan (2014). He is survived by his beloved wife and loving companion since 2001, Audrey L. English; his children, daughter Jacklyn “Jackie” (Jerry) Kozup, and two stepsons Anthony (Ashley) English, and Matthew (Nicole) English; two grandsons, Michael Corrette and Anthony Lucas English, and granddaughter Emersyn Benson; a brother Edward (Janet) Kozup of Hampton, NJ; five sisters, Theresa (Dennis) Greninger of Castleberry, Florida, Christine (Howard) Harrigan of Orlando, Florida, Ann (Ron) Carlson of Belvidere, NJ, Kathleen (Ralph) Cremone of Edison, NJ, Karen (Thomas) Eible, Lopatcong, NJ; brother-in-law Paul Pukatch of Wilkes-Barre, PA; three sister-in-laws Gail Pukatch of Wilkes-Barre, PA, Mary Ellen (Brad) Macdonald of Waverly Hall, GA, Diane (David) Estock of Larksville, PA, and numerous nieces and nephews.

I asked the Lord to give me the correct words. I opened my Bible. The Lord provided the following: Revelations: 14-13 I heard a voice from heaven say to me "Write this down: Happy now are the dead who die in the Lord! " The Spirit added, "Yes, they shall find rest from their labors, for their good works accompany them." I am certain you rest easy in the arms of the Lord, Dave. May God send comfort to ALL who are grieving. Please accept our sincere condolences. With heartfelt sympathy. Your loving friends, David and Gloria Hooper

God Bless you Dave…May you be pain free and flying with the angels…until we meet again…❤️❤️❤️

This is a beautiful tribute to Dave, my brother-in-law who was always so kind and considerate of me and willing to help me when I was living as a single mother. He seemed to love the challenge of solving a problem and helping lighten someone’s load. I will always remember the generous spirit Dave had. When he prayed, you knew he had a solid connection with the Lord. He was an inspiration in that way. Rest peacefully in the arms of the Lord, Dave. Eagle fly home!

Oh my dear friend Dave: you always made me feel welcomed, whether it was in your home or we were gathered together somewhere else. I will miss your friendship and kindness and all our laughs together. R.I.P. my friend, until we meet again. Hey, I still have the fish, and will think of Audrey and you while feeling your presence every time I see it. Little things mean the most.

I love and miss you so much Dad! <3
