The world has lost a man of honor, humility, dignity, modesty, and grace. Our “healthy- as- a- horse,” “never- misses- a- day- of- work” stalwart succumbed to a brief illness on February 15, 2020. He will be sorely missed by all who knew him. No matter the need, David was there. In true David stealth-like manner, he got the jobs done. Never one for the limelight, he was content to work diligently in the shadows so that everyone else could shine. He was a mechanical genius who welcomed challenges with fervor. David was born to Joyce (LaCosse) Padgett and Wayne Cupp on November 26, 1966. He is the youngest of their five children: Marilyn Neal, Gary (Cathy), Sherri Huffaker (Ron), and Mike (Donna). David graduated from South Newton High School in 1985 and obtained an associate degree in HVAC from Ivy Tech. He spent the majority of his career at Tippecanoe School Corporation performing his magic to keep all HVAC systems working. David married the love of his life, Tina Spaulding in 2003. While David received accolades on all work fronts, his proudest accomplishments were his children: Sabrina Cupp (Antonino), Charise Krebs (Michael), Ira Cupp, and stepson Zachary Spaulding (Andrea). Sabrina and Charise blessed David with six beautiful grandchildren: Peytin Krebs, Grayson Krebs, Elyse Hewitt, Owen Hewitt, Annabeth Krebs, and Vincenzo Cavataio. He was preceded in death by his beloved mother, Joyce, in 2017. His ever faithful dog, Lloyd will also be waiting for him at the gates of heaven. In his 53 short years on this earth, David would want to be remembered as a simple man, as a man who worked hard, as a man who loved his family fiercely. In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to Loving Hearts Animal Shelter.
Visitation will be from 4:00 pm until 7:00 pm on Wednesday, February 19, 2020 at Soller-Baker West Lafayette Chapel. Funeral services will be held at 10:00 am on Thursday, February 20, 2020 also at Soller-Baker West Lafayette Chapel, 1184 Sagamore Parkway W. West Lafayette, IN 47906 with Pastor Todd Hair officiating.

Uncle Dave a man of few words and a jack of all trades, never a need or want of anything, just let him be with some tools and something to fix. So quiet, with a smile to light up a room, that’s my uncle Dave. A bear hug to be given whether ya seen him a day ago, a few weeks ago, or maybe years, it was still the best hug. A few years ago I had left for a weekend and when I came home I had no heat, I call my mom she says call your uncle so I called my uncle, give him a make and model of the unit by phone, he tells me all that I need to do, I have heat again within a couple hours. Who can do that?? I know who, my uncle Dave. A man of few words and a heart full of love and I know he’s listening staying just as a humble simple man. I don’t know what the lesson is right now or why we have to be saying goodbye to one of the best you and I have ever met, we are truly losing a good one. So Cherish the past and still mourn but know a piece of him remains with us and a piece of us is always with him. Always be humble and simple just like uncle Dave All my love and thoughts are with you Aunt Tina, Sabrina, Charise, and Ira
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

My heartfelt condolences to the family. Dave will be greatly missed. I'll never forget his little pranks that he pulled on me like sticking bullet hole magnets on my truck door after I served on jury for a high profile murder case. He's one of the greatest men I've ever known. Take care of him, Cowboy (Jeremie) and El Conquistador (Kibbee)
