Dave Skinner Obituary

Dave Skinner, age 58, passed away in his sleep on December 19, 2025, at his home in Aurora, CO, after battling kidney disease. He was born on August 16, 1967, in Chicago, IL.

He owned and operated his own business, Hydro tech Spas and Pools, for 30 years. He survived by his wife, Dana Skinner; his daughter, Ruby Faulkner; his son-in-law, Matthew Faulkner; his granddaughter, Maple Faulkner; and his brother, Tom Skinner. Dave lived life to the fullest.

He loved wrestling as a kid, and all throughout his high school years as well. He loved football, especially the Broncos, and his all-time favorite band was Led Zeppelin. He was a good friend to all and was always there when you needed him.

There will be no funeral, but a memorial will be planned for later in the year. Please send gifts to 2971 S Ivory Ct, Aurora, CO

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
