My husband David Trunecek was a big believer in Jesus Christ and raised my faith immensely during our journey together. He was a doer of the Bible, not just a hearer of the word. He understood it, on a very deep level and read through the Bible daily, on his fourth time this year. His morals and values were so strong, leading me, our marriage and our family with greatness. I will carry his torch, I will always teach our children from a biblical world view and have even bigger faith. Loosing my husband puts an even bigger responsibility on my shoulders- to not only walk along this journey called life with my kiddos but to teach them THE truth, in love…
These pictures of David, were from his water baptism, he was baptized as an adult with our church Calvary chapel south OC at Baby Beach, Dana Point…the date he was baptized was July 15th, 2019…and David passed away on July 15th, 2025…that is God talking…✨
Psalms 23
1  A Psalm of David. The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2  He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters.
3  He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness For His name's sake.
4  Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me
5  You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over.
6  Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me All the days of my life; And I will dwell in the house of the Lord Forever.

David T has a special bond with my late husband, David Petreccia who passed away Sept 12, 2014. We found each other inside of our passion for growth & development. We attended a few courses together & the 3 of us bonded but the two Davids were like two peas in a pod, both being of European descent & sharing that drive to succeed in this great country of ours. They were both lovers and fighters, they both laughed and loved, were both deep thinkers. I think their mutual lust for life is the string that kept them connected over the years. It's wonderful to know that David's life journey had such fulfillment, magic and beauty in it. I'll be saying a farewell prayer and a grand toast over a fine glass of champagne to you, David.

David was not only a friend but really like a son to us. Having known him since 2003, he managed our retirement financial portfolio as if it were his own. Never one to try to “sell” an opportunity, he was completely client oriented first and always. We witnessed him in his search for meaning, truth and fulfillment in life and joyfully joined him in finding all his questions answered in Jesus Christ as his Lord. And the transformation in him was amazing from seeking and then finding what the Lord really wanted for him and being blessed with beautiful Kate and young Bohden and another child on the way. Our hearts ache at his much too early departure from this life but look forward to seeing that loving, smiling, glowing face again when we are called home too. We have been blessed being recipients of his wise counsel, his transformative life, his love and friendship.

I have many memories of David from when he was 27 and onwards. I was so thrilled to know that he met Kate. He called me to let me know, and told me how great she was. The last time I saw David was when he set up a meeting so I could meet Kate at this café in Laguna. She was everything he said if not more. I will always think of David, he’s one of those special people that leaves a lasting impression. Too bad he left so soon.

My condolences to David's family. I've known David as my financial advisor and friend for 20 years. It was heartbreaking to learn of his passing. David was special to me, as I know he was to so many colleagues, clients, family and friends. May he rest in Eternal Peace.

When my son David past away on July 15, 2025, heartbroken doesn’t even begin to express the pain of losing my son. No parent should ever have to bury their child. I do believe that god had a bigger purpose for him. David may not be with us anymore but his memory will forever live in my heart, in all of our hearts. I love you and miss you so very much my beautiful son.
