David Alan Wood, 55, after a valiant fight, succumbed to Covid-19 complications on December 19, 2021. He was born on 1 September 1966 to Robert Milton Wood and Betty Jean Noll in Pomona, Los Angeles, California and graduated from Upland High School in 1984. He married his sweetheart, Kirstin Lang February 4, 1989, in the Los Angeles Temple at Santa Monica, Los Angeles, California. Dave worked for the State of California, Caltrans Department promoting through the ranks which included: P.I. (Victorville); Maintenance Worker (Blythe); Equipment Operator, Lead Worker on Special Crews (San Bernardino mountains); Striping and Supervisor Storm Water Crew (District 8); Supervisor (Shaver Lake); Supervisor (Essex and Barstow); Superintendent (Sutter/Sierra Region); Superintendent (Donner Pass); and Maintenance Manager 1 & II (Metro Region). He was blessed to be back in the San Bernardino area enabling him to be closer to home and his family for the last four years.

He joined The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints with his family on November 18, 1979, later serving the Church for two years, 1985-1987, in the Cordoba Argentina Mission. Dave, learning Spanish in high school and college, and becoming a proficient Spanish speaker on his mission was not only a blessing to him while in Argentina but was very beneficial in his professional life. He also served the Church in many other capacities including Elder's Quorum presidency, High Priest group leader, Primary teacher, Sunday School teacher, Activities Coordinator alongside his loving wife, Kirstin, and most recently as Stake Executive Secretary.

Dave was an avid music lover and guitar player. He loved to travel with his family. He was known for his epic moustache, Hawaiian shirts, guitar collection, and sonorous sound systems, if it didn't rattle the walls it was not good enough. Dave always had a smile for friend or stranger alike. He loved to make people laugh. Dave also loved to share his testimony and life lessons which changed many, many lives for the better over the years.

Dave is survived by his most treasured blessings, eternal companion Kirstin Lang Wood, and children Suzanne Elise Wood (Charles) Kayser, Stewart Nielsen Wood, and Brianna Elaine Wood. Parents Robert Milton Wood and Betty Jean Noll; brother Troy Robert Wood; Sisters-in-law Elisa Snow (Jon) Lang and Alyson Lang (Richard) Tyner. Nephews Derek Chase Wood, Joshua James (Brittani) Lang, Ryan Charles (Denise) Lang, and Kyle Lee (Liv) Lang. Nieces Tiffany Lang (Steve) Jenks, Megan Flanagan, and Katelyn Tyner (Jacob) Golder, many other family members, and countless lifelong friends. Predeceasing Dave are grandparents William Milton Wood and Eula Morrison; Marion Sigler Noll and Lois Oliver Fasnacht; and brothers-in-law Mark Kimball Lang, David Scott Lang, and Jon Kelly Lang.
