David “Pa” Colgan, 72, beloved father and grandfather went to be with our Lord on Tuesday, April 11, 2023, at his home in Lutz.

Dave loved cars. Working on cars, driving cars, talking about cars, shopping for cars, buying cars, and looking at cars…but nothing gave him more joy than his grandchildren. He enjoyed teaching them skills like welding, using power tools, and painting, as well as building treehouses, zip lines, and go-carts for them to enjoy.
A Celebration of Life service and “Dave’s Garage” Car Show will be held on May 13, 2023 at Grace Family Church in Lutz, FL. Celebration of Life Service will begin at 10am.
