Dave was raised in Duanesburg with his parents and siblings and during that time developed interests in pop culture, modern music, and travel. Growing up in a large household, Dave was forced to develop a good sense of humor and a knack for sarcasm, which was often used to tease his favorite targets: his sister Sandy and mother Katherine. Dave did not like school growing up. His friends and family often joked about how as quickly as he was forced to arrive at the front door to school, he would find a way even quicker to the back door to play hooky when no one was looking. Growing up David could not wait to be finished with school so he could move to New York City where the pace, cultural diversity, and cosmopolitan life style much more suited him.
After obtaining his high school diploma, David moved to New York City, developed a meaningful long-term relationship, and obtained a job as a night auditor in a hotel. While living in the city, David suffered an assault that induced a permanent disability resulting in a need for his return to Schenectady to reside with family. Post disability David focused on family, nutrition, exercise, and ways to cure his disability. He was involved in research studies that were hoped to improve his situation as well as those with similar disabilities. Dave dreamed of being able to live on the water and travel the world and was often frustrated by not being able to do so. In order to satisfy his need for travel, often while driving with friends and family, Dave would work on purposely getting everyone lost in order that he might see something new.
David was a very good son, who after his mother became disabled herself, helped to manage her finances and after care at home. David's family will greatly miss his smile, his laugh, and day-to- day determination to be healed.
David is survived by his mother, Katherine and is predeceased by his father, Michael and his aunt, who was also his god mother, Maria Korotitsch.
Surviving siblings include Michael Korotitsch and partner Mark Bradley of Rensselear, Sandra Boisjoli and her husband Matt of Delanson, Bill Korotitsch and his wife Carrie of North Carolina, Robert Korotitsch and his wife Linnea of Schenectady and very dear friends who were as family include Joan Marx and Vicky Tuttle.
Interment will be at Grove Cemetery (Route 395) Quaker Street, N.Y. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the NY State Brain Injury Association.
