David James Memmott of Rumson, NJ passed away on Thursday, September 29, 2022. He was born in Edinburgh, Scotland on August 11, 1960, where he lived for a brief period before moving to Freehold, NJ then Fair Haven, NJ where he resided for his younger years before college. After college, it was New York City and New Canaan, Connecticut before settling in Rumson, NJ for the rest of his adult life.
Growing up, Dave learned to love the ocean and prided himself on being a Jersey boy on the Jersey Shore. One of his favorite memories that he often recounted was his time spent as a lifeguard at Sandy Hook beach. Some of his closet lifelong friends were made in the lifeguard stands while watching the surf, saving lives, and surfing the waves. Of late, he lived so close to his favorite place, the ocean, that in the mornings he started his day with the sunrise and if lucky, would catch some sunsets too. He was very proud of his daily swims growing up and through his adult life. He even strong armed his wife Debbie into doing monthly plunges, no matter the weather. The ocean brought him a joy that was all his own.
Always extremely active and sports minded, David was involved in every sport one could imagine, and excelled at them all. He was a hockey, baseball, football player and swimmer when he was young, with his passions being soccer and snow skiing. Golf and biking were his favorite in his later years, where he was often seen riding around town on the tandem bike meant for two, but rode as one because he said it was such a great, comfortable ride. He loved boating, and fishing, which he did often of late with his youngest son all around Rumson, Seabright, and Fair Haven. He knew his way around a pond or ocean dock.
