David Alan Bilderbach

David Alan Bilderbach, age 35 of Buckeye, AZ died November 11, 2018, in Mesa, AZ.  He was born on March 4, 1983, to Herbert “Bruce” and Angelica Bilderbach in West Covina, California, where he lived until moving to Arizona in 2014.

David accepted Christ at a very early age and preached his first sermon when he was about 6 years old. When he was 10, he was baptized at Valley Community Church in El Monte, California on August 4th, 1993. Many family members and friends, thought and hoped, David would someday be a preacher. David loved God and loved people, which he inherited from his mom, Angie.

During his school years, David gave his teachers a run for their money because he was the smartest person in the room. In fact, when he graduated from high school in 2001, David received the Mayor's Academic Scholarship. David was brilliant. He had so many talents. He was a mechanic, welder, problem solver, he could fix just about anything. He inherited his love and passion for cars and mechanics from his father Bruce while tinkering with cars as a boy in his parent’s neighborhood automotive shop "B&B.”

As a young man, he met his first love "Kriistal,” and married her on February 18, 2006. Together, they had David's first-born son, David Alan the II, not Jr, born October 11, 2006. David dreamed of owning his own full-service automotive shop and planned to call it, "The Works.” Although his marriage ended, the dream of "The Works" didn't. It lived on as David continued to pursue his dream.

David met Lucy and together they had David's second son, Xavier Logan, on March 6, 2013. David was proud to be pursuing his welding certification at the Arizona Automotive Institute, he would have accomplished this, but unfortunately, that dream will not be realized because his life was tragically ended too soon. We can only imagine how much he would have accomplished in his life given the opportunity. Fortunately, he leaves behind the legacy of his two sons, David, and Xavier, who may one day pick up their father's Dream Book, and mementos of "The Works."

David is survived by his sons, David Alan Bilderbach, II,  and Xavier Logan Moreno Bilderbach; mother, Angelica Bilderbach; sisters, Jessie Ann D’Agostino, Clara Kay D’Agostino, and Tina Marie Bilderbach-Herington; brothers, Gary Douglas D’Agostino, Robert Bruce Bilderbach, and Bruce Tyrone-Alan Parker; nieces and nephews, Sheila Marie Singelman, Sarah Jane Montano, Caleb David Danielson, Joshua Douglas Danielson; Daniella Joy D’Agostino, Gabrella Grace D’Agostino, Matthew William Salcido, Darlene Elise Bilderbach, Michael Andrew Bilderbach, Marc Edward Bilderbach, Patricia Antoinette Boyd, Christina Janet Milligan, Aaron Tyler Parker, Davon McQuaid Parker; and great-niece, Ahava Raizel Ruby Singelman.  He was preceded in death by his father, Bruce Bilderbach, and all his grandparents, Albert Thomas Bilderbach, Antoinette Cornelia Bilderbach, Pedro Hernandez, and Josefina Hernandez.
