David Uman Obituary

David T. Uman
Passed away peacefully at home surrounded by loving family on February 20, 2013 at the age of 74. He was born on December 17th 1938, in Sacramento California, where he met his wife of 51 years, Judy Uman. He served with the US Army for two years and retired from the United States Postal Service in 1992, with over 50 years of service. He moved to the Yuba City area in 1974 with his wife and three children.

He is survived by his wife Judy Uman of Yuba City; son Ron Uman and his wife Tracie of Mt. Aukum; daughter Martha Valdivia and her husband Alex of Chico; son Tom Uman and his wife Debbie of Yuba City; a sister Pat Dutton of Bigfork, Montana; grandchildren, Ryan, Justin, Nick, Josh, Matt, Elisha, and Tina; 5 great grandchildren, and numerous nieces, nephews and cousins.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Laverne and Lois Uman.

David was a volunteer for the American Cancer Society Discovery Shop, and an active member of the Yuba City Pride Lions Club. He loved his gardening and playing cards, but his favorite pastime was spending time on the beach with his grandsons Ryan, Justin and Nick.

Per his wishes there will be no services. A private family scattering of his ashes will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to Sutter North Hospice or Fremont Rideout Cancer Center or AmyloidosisSociety.com.

Dear family of David T.Uman, I am deeply sorry for your loss he seems like a wonderful man to be around. At john11:11 the Bible gives us the comfort to know that your husband, father,or grandfather is just sleeping and not in any kind of pain. Like I said I am deeply sorry for your loss and I hope this gave you some comfort. Tdraughn

Surely a mold was broken with my Uncle Dave! I have SO many memories of him growing up as we spent so many weekends together with all the family in Yuba City. He always had a joke and plenty of stories to share and could take it as well as he dished it out. He was the kind of guy that if he was in the room you knew it and lots of laughs were coming. After years of fishing trips and tons of fishing stories I can't honestly remember if I ever saw him actually catch a fish but we sure had fun:) I would say rest in peace but I know you are already telling stories, jokes and making new friends.

David was a patient at a Dental office I previously worked a few years ago. He was one of the sweetest, kindest, caring, and generous man I met, every day he came in, he was a pleasure to see and know. Heaven has definately gained a new Angel. Blessings and prayers to your family during this difficult time. May God be with you all.
