David Rivito Obituary

It has been a couple of years, and we had lost track since we were kids. Just wanted to say that you have not been forgotten.

Dave was one of classmates and friend during high school. He always brought a positive attitude and touched the lives of many people.

I just learned the sad news of David's passing and I would like to express my sympathy to Linda and the family, as well as to Wendy, Dave's sister . Dave was a close friend back in the late sixties thru the seventies, until he moved south. We lost touch in recent years, but I have great memories of fishing on Onieda Lake, working at Weatheridge , camping at Redfield, and all the times on Fellows Ave and on Collingwood. Dave was always a natural leader and a great friend. He will be greatly missed.

I was thinking of Dave and on a whim googled his name and that's how I got the sad news. Dave was one of my dearest friends and band mates in the Declaration of Independence in the sixties. We were kids together and I am heartbroken that he has passed so young. Steve Durr

I just learned of his passing moments ago. I had the pleasure of knowing him and of being his neighbor for over 6 years while he worked in Statesville. We had the best talks! He was one of those people who exuded a natural positive energy, which I know came through his relationship with God....and what a mighty man of God he was! He always had a kind word and a smile-every day! I can still hear him strumming on his acoustic guitar..... My prayer for his wife and family is peace, and understanding. God must've been ready for him to come home.

Just heard the news yesterday. So sorry, My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Thinking back I remember when he let me play his guitar with Tim on drums. I could not play much then but was honored he let me touch the Les Paul. We had a few long talks and the advice he gave me I still take to this day.

What a great man of God. We were also coworkers but considered him a friend. He was always willing to help anyone
in any way he could. Keeping your family in my thoughts.

Dave you were a wonderful man that taught me so much, I admired your love for God and your sense of humor. God bless you, Linda and family Dave will be missed very much.

Linda & family, I was truly sorry to hear of Dave's passing. With a smile, I remember his music: fabulous lead guitarist and original songs presented to God in worship at PVA. May God bring you comfort and peace.

DAVE WILL FOREVER BE LOVED AND MISSED.... YOU WERE THE BEST FROM THE RUTLEDGE TOWER 1ST SHIFT

Dave was the best supervisor ever and he should be missed .. from the Simmons family

Dave was one of the best manager anyone could ask for in the work place I will miss you.. rest in peace

Dave was so concerning when my mom was took ill.. He would always ask if I needed anything or if there was anything he could do, he also had a big heart and that's what I Am going to miss about him.. sleep on MR Dave

I will truly miss my dear friend especially his smile.May God bless and keep his family strong. JJ

We know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed. We have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in heavens. Here indeed we groan, and long to put on heavenly dwelling. Mr. David was a fine gentleman, may God forever bless you and the family. 2 Corinthians 5:1-2
With deepest sympathy, Virginia Green and family

Earth has no sorrow, that heaven can not heal. Dave was a man of integrity, class, and great wisdom. He was more than a manager, he was a dear friend. He was someone you could go to for guidance, advice, or just for a listening ear. Dave would never judge in any situation, every morning the office would always be filled with laughter and smiling faces. He was someone who gave me a chance, and encouraged me. My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family, God bless.

Condolences to the Rivito Family. Mr. Dave and I often talked about the music played in church, he loved what he did. I worked with him. Rest In Peace.

My wife, Debbie, and I send our prayers and condolences to the Rivito family on Dave's passing. I had the privilege of working with Dave at IMH Statesville as Operations Manager in EVS. Special memories of Dave for me are when he shared with me his personal testimony of how Jesus changed his life, how he loved playing guitar on the worship team at church , and his love of family. I'm blessed having known Dave and will never forget him.

Mr Rivito hired me in May 2007 he left and traveled,9 years later I had the pleasure of working with him again . He always told me to call him Dave but he was always Mr Rivito to me. Sleep on my friend we loved you but God loves you best. I will remember you as the sweet loving kind man that you were to me and everyone around you.

Mr. Dave was such an awesome person!! always had a kind word to tell you. Mr. Dave told me before leaving that he wanted me to aim high because I deserve the best and that whenever a Director position came open he said for me to go for it. You will be missed by so many. Thanks for all the encouraging words!! You were truly a man of God!!! Tears, Tears, Tears

Dave was a beautiful person inside and out. He had a genuine heart and loved the Lord with everything he had. Dave will be missed dearly! Heaven has a special person walking the streets of gold right now.

Dave was the person who hired me at Iredell Memorial Hospital the year of 2013. He was and still is a really great man. I admire him very much. It was such a pleasure working with him.
