David Underhill passed away peacefully on March 20th, 2025. He was preceded in death by his parents Catherine Zeller Underhill and Walter Underhill, and his cousin Steve Bolesky. He leaves behind two sisters, Linda Slauenwhite and Beverly Helfert, and his three children (Amanda, Brandi, Stacey) and three grandchildren (Rylan, Maeve, and Millie).

David attended Mater Dei High School in Evansville, Indiana (class of 1966) and graduated from Lockyear Business College. David soon relocated to Lexington, KY and became one of the youngest managers at General Finance. He retired from Community Trust Bank after nearly 20 years of loyal service and served on the advisory board. David's dedication to his community extended beyond his professional life. He was a long-time member of the Kiwanis Club, where he served as President from 2011 to 2012, and a member of the Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Bluegrass.

David had a range of passions and hobbies. He found solace and creativity in woodworking, drawing, and gardening. He also enjoyed the camaraderie of golfing and the freedom of riding his motorcycle. He was known for his friendly and playful nature, his warm presence brought joy to everyone around him.

For the past decade, David lived a full and vibrant life. He spent much of his time at the Lexington Senior Center, where he cultivated new and existing friendships. David loved the outdoors and stayed active with daily walks at the UK Arboretum or the Fayette Mall when the weather didn’t cooperate. He saw his grandchildren often and cherished every moment he had with them.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in David’s memory to the Kiwanis Club or Big Brothers Big Sisters, organizations that were close to his heart.

His graveside memorial service will be held at Lexington Cemetery, 833 West Main Street, Lexington, KY on Tuesday, March 25th, 2025. Cars should queue in section A at 11:45 AM, the cemetery personnel will escort everyone in their cars to the graveside service at noon.

A celebration of life will be held immediately after the graveside service at the Country Boy Brewing, 436 Chair Ave, Lexington, KY 40508. We’ll have food and beer; all family and friends are welcome to join and celebrate David's life in the way he’d enjoy most.
