David Alan Melville, 51, of Lititz, PA, ended his earthly journey suddenly on Sunday, September 14, 2014. Born August 12, 1963, in Wilkes-Barre, PA, Dave was the beloved son of the late Ralph and Daveena Melville. He was the husband of Andrea(Cousineau)Melville and is also survived by his daughter Toria Elizabeth who carries on their passion for the Philadelphia Flyers. He is also survived by his brother like no other Scott Melville of Lancaster and his sister Ann Conway(Ed) and fellow Phillies and football fans, his nephews Grant and Ross Conway, of Landisville, PA. Dave will also be missed by loving extended family and loyal friends and neighbors. He was continually navigating the path of his Christian spiritual journey which included Grandview United Methodist Church where he began his Christian life and LCBC where until recently, he was involved with the Kid Ministry.

Although he spent most of his childhood in Lancaster County, graduating from Manheim Township High School in 1981, Dave also saw a lot of the world, first through his six years in the Navy and later through contract work at Naval bases around the world. His IT career necessitated moves to Clayton, NJ, Lewis Center, OH, and finally back to Lancaster, PA, with all residences having the common element of a perfectly manicured lawn that Dave tirelessly maintained. Dave was very patriotic and had pride in the American flag as a symbol of national independence and individual liberty, ideals he strived for in his own life. His other passions included the Phillies and Flyers, keeping his red Mustang in mint condition, and continuing to root for the New York Jets even when it was an exercise in futility.

A Memorial Service will be held Friday, September 19, 2014 at the Charles F. Snyder Jr. Funeral Home and Crematory, 3110 Lititz Pike, Lititz,PA at 4 p.m. Visitors will be received at the Funeral Home for 1 hour before the service. PLEASE OMIT FLOWERS. If desired, donations may be made in his memory to the Wounded Warriors Project, Box 758517, Topeka, KS, 66675.
