David Johnathan Gwinn
David “Doc” Gwinn passed away suddenly after being involved in a motorcycle accident on Friday, July 14th, 2017 in Colorado. He is survived by his beautiful wife Amanda; mother Jackie Heffington (Mark Callihan); father T.J. Gwinn; siblings Luke, Mandi, Natalie and Kassidy; step-mom Karyn Gwinn; Grammy Mary Isenhart; and many loved aunts, uncles and cousins.
David grew up in Arvada, Colorado and attended Stott and Campbell elementary schools, Oberon Middle School and Arvada West High School. In high school, David was a competitive swimmer and after graduating continued to coach swimming at Standley Lake High School, Arvada West and Red Rocks Country Club. David’s Grandpa Jack, who passed away shortly after he graduated from high school, influenced his love for baseball. This love for baseball continued on throughout Amanda and David’s relationship, taking them as far as Wrigley Field for a game. It was obvious that Grandpa Jack was David’s idol especially when you saw his dedication tattoo. David cherished every moment spent with his Grandpa and Grammy.
In 2007, David enlisted in the Navy and became a Navy Corpsman, attached to 2nd Battalion, 7th Marines, Echo Company. His brothers affectionately called him “Doc”. David had a fierce heart and loyalty to those he served with. He was a protector that went above and beyond by serving our country and risking his life in Afghanistan. After being honorably discharged, David volunteered for many causes and earned his Associates Degree in Electrical Engineering.
