Muller, David Chad Age 38 of East Northport, NY passed away on December 22, 2020 with his loving wife by his side and sister near by.
He was born July 3, 1982, in Mt. Kisco, NY. David graduated La Salle Military Academy in 2000. He went on to Bryant College in Rhode Island, and graduated from Farmingdale State College in 2005, with a BA in marketing. Upon graduation began his career at Henry Schein, Inc, where he continued to progress over the past 14 years, ending as a Director of Equipment and Technology in Schein’s dental division. David loved riding motorcycles, playing hockey, late night video games, getting tattooed at Station1 Tattoo and being the best husband, father, son, brother and friend, anyone could ask for. To know him was to love him. To hug him was to feel true happiness. Be it family, friend or acquaintance, those who knew David were better off because of it. David is survived by his wife Jaclyn Muller, daughter Isabella & baby Muller coming in July. He is the son of Hal & Karen Muller of Wells, ME. He is also survived by his sister, Michelle (Matt) Davis, and their daughters Hayleigh and Aubrey, Jaclyn’s parents John and Diane Romano, her sister Jamie and her brother Michael (Carolyn) Romano and daughter Grace. “To the world you may be one person; but to one person you may be the world” – Dr. Seuss.

  18. candleDave, the world was a better place with you in it. Your kindness, compassion, warmth – hugs that knocked the wind out of the recipient! You had an easy way of making all feel welcome and each person feel special. Such a true and genuine man doesn’t come along often. You had the love of my entire family from the first time we met. Most importantly, you made my beautiful niece Jaclyn and her daughter Bella so wonderfully happy. You’ve set the bar high my friend! We are all still so shocked at this loss and heartbroken, but simultaneously feel truly blessed to have had you in our lives, albeit for too short a time. Baby Muller will know all about his/her amazing father. We love you Dave

  24. candleMyself and four other girlfriends met Dave and his amazing friends this past Sept. on what would be a fun filled weekend on the motorcycles. We met the guys on our way up to Windham on the ferry. Hence they were dubbed “the ferry boys.” They quickly became our road captains/protectors on the highway. They invited us to join them and their families with open arms to share in a memorial for a dear friend they lost.
    Dave was the sweetest young man who we quickly nicknamed Teddy Bear. The man always had a smile on his face and had us laughing the whole weekend. He truly loved his friends and treated them like family. Making one of a kind smores for the whole crowd in front of the biggest bonfire I ever saw, watching his face light up when he spoke of his daughter and wife. Calendar poses at the gas station..
    This dear sweet man left such an incredible impression on all of us. He will be dearly missed , my heart is heavy. Thoughts and prayers sent to his family and friends
    Jeanie, Nancy Patti, Angela and Irene.

    • To piggyback on Jeanie’s memory, when I met Dave that weekend in September, I immediately felt as though I had known him my whole life. His smile and hug was infectious. He had the biggest heart and projected his love for others in those initial moments. At the bonfire the weekend in Windham he was so happy making his special smores with his fire irons. He will be missed as he clearly touched others lives just being him. My prayers go out to his wife, daughter his new baby and to all his family and friends at this difficult time.

      • To piggyback on on Jeanie and Nancys memories. I didn’t have the honor of getting the escort up to Windham,but when the ladies got there that’s all they had to talk about the “bandanna boys” How kind and protective and made that trip a safe one.Without meeting these men I felt like I already knew them.The next day I got the privileged to meet them all and their families . My Friends did explain all the gentlemans to me and their names and the nick names that the ladies did give them all. As they explain to me about Dave .. he’s the sweetest Guy we’re going to nickname teddy bear !!! When I met the gentleman I knew exactly why they nick named him Teddy Bear!! I’ve never felt so welcomed with complete strangers with the kindest hearts. My prayers go out to Daves Wife, children ,family and friends…

  28. Hal and Karen,
    Kendall and I want to offer our heartfelt condolences to you. There are no words to ease your pain. It is clear that you are surrounded by love and that your David was a remarkable man.

  29. It takes a special person who can be a “best friend” to so many people. A person who had the personality to make people laugh, no matter how “down” they were feeling. A salesman who could make customers feel like they were personal friends on the first sales call. A teammate that could find a way to keep people engaged on a Zoom call, that was entering its second hour.

    When that special person happens to be your son, you have nothing but pride and love for them. Dave had the power to make people feel better about themselves, even us.

    Today we are saying “so long” to Dave, our “special someone.” To say our hearts are broken, would be an understatement. Seeing how many other hearts he has touched, makes us feel even prouder of the son we raised.

    Thank you all for your love and friendship for Dave and the rest of our family, we are honored!

  50. Just knowing Dave was to love him. I will always remember his kindness when he met his future mother in law while dating Jaclyn. My wife Diane was at the beginning of her journey fighting early onset Alzheimer’s disease. Whenever Dave was over for dinner, which was often, he always talked to Diane and smiled at her while rubbing her back. She would show him pictures of Jaclyn and our family as her way of communicating with him. She would do that every time he was over until she could not longer remember to. But Dave never changed. He always continued to talk to her, smile and rub her back. That was Dave. Always giving, never taking. On my birthday, the morning of December 22, we said goodbye to Dave and told him we love him. I held the phone so my wife could see it and tried to explain what was happening. I didn’t expect her to understand, but somehow she did. A tear fell from her eye and we both told Dave we miss him and will love him forever.

  52. Dave was known as our big “teddy bear” within our Special Markets family at Schein. To know him was to love him. He def. never met a stranger and his hugs were a bone-crushing joy! I will miss his pep-talks and his “just-checking-in emails.” The fact that his spirit will carry on in a new lil being warms my heart. He will be missed greatly. Love ya dude…

  57. candleSo very sorry to hear of this tragic loss. I have only happy memories from growing up with Dave. My deepest condolences to his family and friends.

  58. candleI don’t ever recall a time Dave didn’t have a smile on his face. He was one of those people who always made you feel better regardless of your mood. When we were no longer coworkers, he called to check on me to make sure I was okay professionally. Quite simply, he cared. I spoke to a mutual customer yesterday who said they’d never met Dave in person yet they had grown to respect and admire him over the past several months simply because he was so caring. Dave always seemed to live that credo – “In a world where you can be anything, be kind.” He was a big man with an even bigger heart. Sadly, his passing, has left a hole in our collective hearts, however I will always choose to be grateful for the memories and thankful my life was touched with his presence. To Hal, Karen, Jackie, and his family – we are deeply saddened and share in your loss. We wish you peace, comfort, and love knowing your son & husband touched so many lives and was loved by all those whose lives he touched.

  59. Cousin Dave….I’ve been flipping through old photos, reminiscing about adolescent shenanigans and happier times. We could always count on you to brighten up the day and make people laugh even when we were little. You had a heart of gold and made a lasting impression on anyone and everyone that had the pleasure of meeting you.
    Your memory is a blessing and your absence forever felt. I love you and miss you so much!!

  60. Dave, you are loved by so, so many. I feel extremely lucky to have experienced the love and happiness you brought into our family.

  65. Ever since I was a child, I would get excited when I found out I was going to spend time with cousin Dave. We lived on opposite sides of the country, but I still always felt so close to him. I have nothing but wonderful memories of Dave and it truly breaks my heart he is no longer with us. Dave was a beautiful soul and his positivity rubbed off on anyone he was around. He was always happy, caring, and loving. I will always love him, I will always miss him, and he will be in my heart forever.

  66. My cousin, my brother and my friend. Our mothers are twins, we have shared the same birthday since I was born and you have always been a big brother to me. I am forever proud of the man you became and that I was lucky enough to call you family.
