David Deroski

July 30, 1968 - December 19, 2020

David Wyatt Deroski, age 52, died Saturday, December 19, 2020, at Richmond University Hospital on Staten Island from complications of COPD. David was born on July 30, 1968, in Danville, PA and moved as a toddler with his family to Rumson, NJ where he spent a large part of his childhood. The son of the late Frank J. Deroski, Jr. and Nancy Carson, David also lived in Montclair, NJ, Roosevelt Island, NY and, for many years, on Staten Island, NY. He was a graduate of New Dorp High School. David was a kindhearted, witty, charming man with a love for music, sound, cars and animals of all shapes and sizes. In addition to his father, David was predeceased by his grandfather, Frank J. Deroski, Sr., and his beloved grandmother and grandfather, Grace and John Carson, his Nanny and Pappy, who were, no doubt, waiting for him. He is survived by his mother, Nancy, and the four children who he loved unconditionally and bragged about regularly, David and Jonathan Joseph, of New York City, and Shelly and Mark Deroski of Monmouth County, New Jersey. He is also survived by his sister, Bonnie Deroski of Tinton Falls, NJ, his brother, Stephen of Seattle, WA and one nephew, Donovan Deroski. David had many loving friends who will miss him, especially Mary Puccio. Because of Covid, a private funeral service will be held virtually at the convenience of the family.
