With heavy hearts in my family, we want to acknowledge the sudden passing of David on Saturday morning the 28th.

Dave was 53 years young. He is survived by his wife Jennifer, daughter Isabella, 22 and son Jack, 18, older Brother Kenneth Welcom (Georgia) and younger sister Maria Bougie (David). He was loved and looked up to by all his nieces, nephews and cousins. He is proceeded in death by his parents, Kenneth R. Welcom, Sr., Kathleen Hassett Welcom, Eugene Hassett his maternal Uncle and his sister-in-law Georgia Welcom.

Dave served in the US Army as a Medical Specialist from 1989-1993. His tours of duty included South Korea WRAMC and 2nd Infantry and Walter Reed Medical Center.

Dave then finished getting his BA from Excelsior University while working full time at Winthrop Hospital in Long Island, New York. He moved with his wife and family to Castle Rock, Colorado in 2011 where he worked in various roles at Sky Ridge Medical Center starting as a Registered Nurse in the ICU and ended his time there as director of Cardiac Services. During his time at Sky Ridge Dave also received 2 Master’s Degrees from Grand Canyon University in Phoenix, Arizona. He loved all the letters after his name.

In 2024, Dave accepted a position as Director of Cardiovascular Services at Montrose Regional Medical Center in Montrose, CO. In May, he accepted a promotion as VP of Clinical Operations.

David married the love of his life in 1998, Jennifer Wilcox, in Middle Island New York and just celebrated 27 years of marriage. He adores his family and would constantly send pictures, and rightfully so, brag of all their accomplishments.

If you knew Dave you know he loved GOD, his family, his country, golf and THE YANKEES. He also loved all the friends he met in Colorado who have grown to be his family and who are our biggest support through this horrible time.

Dave had a great sense of humor and most of the time it was at your expense, and that was because he loved you and he wanted you to see the joy you brought to his life.

The Welcom Family would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to all the family, friends and coworkers who helped in some way, with food donations, support, guidance and keeping us in your prayers. We are forever grateful for the impact that you have had on us during this terrible time in our lives. David, I know is so honored and feels so loved.
