David Russell Kuntarich

Born March 19, 1958 in Gary, IN to Louis Kuntarich Sr. and Katie R. Kuntarich, Dave was the second youngest of five. He graduated from Purdue University with a BS in Management with a concentration in Finance along with a second major in Psychology. On August 2, 1985, he married the love of his life, Laura (Yankey) Kuntarich. He went on to obtain a JD from Indiana University in 1987 and passed the Indiana Bar. Dave spent the next 35+ years based out of Tennessee and the Carolinas with Crown Point Ltd. and PSI and completed his career as the President of Crown Point Ltd.

Above all, Dave was an ever-present father, husband, and grandfather who resided in Apex, NC for the last 24 years.

Innately generous with his time even outside of providing for his family, Dave helped kickstart hockey in Florence, SC and was a board member of the Manna House. More recently, Dave could be found sharing his great sense of humor with neighbors and friends or caring for his cars/motorcycles, garden, and cameras.

Dave is survived by his loving wife of 39 years, Laura; daughter Karen Kuntarich Isom and husband Glenn; son Chris Kuntarich and wife Alejandra; grandchildren Elena Lorbacher and Grant Lorbacher; sister Deborah Sargent, MD; brother Louis Kuntarich, Jr.; and sister Teresa Kuntarich, along with many nieces, nephews, grandnieces, and grandnephews. He was preceded in death by his parents Louis and Katie as well as his sister, Patricia Kuntarich.

Dave will be deeply missed by all who knew him, and his memory will live on in the hearts of those who were lucky enough to know him.

A memorial service will be held at 11am on Tuesday April 22nd at Apex Funeral Home. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to your local cat rescue or other charity of your choice. One of Dave's recently preferred charities was the Southern Environmental Law Center.
