FRANCISCO
David B. Francisco, 68 years, four months and six days, of London, Ohio formerly of Lima, passed away Friday, December 3, 2021.
Born in Beckley, West Virginia, David was the fourth child of parents G.E. and Virginia (Blake) Francisco.
David retired from the Ohio Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, after 30 years of service. David was a strong advocate of the second amendment and belonged to the NRA.
David fought a battle courageously for over 20 years with debilitating pain, pain that took his ability to walk and enjoy his nature. Still that pain never took his quick wit, nor his dignity and compassion. Just prior to his passing, he told his wife Hope, that his journey was done. He wanted to be 10 years old again, he wanted to run and play in the backyard of his childhood home in the hills of West Virginia, with his ever-present canine "Red". We will mis you David.
Survivors include his wife of 38 years Hope (Jago) Francisco, sister Ann (Bob) Pinney; niece Traci Carpenter and her children Shane and Sarah; nephews Brian (Jenny) Kidd and his son Max and Kevin (Jennifer) Kidd; sister in law Vicki (Steve), brother in law Robin (Inez) Jago and their daughter Alyssa, niece Brandi (Nathan) Cornetet and her children Layla, Draydon and his son Carter, nephews Chip and Kyle, nephew Nathan Jago and his son Christian, special friends Randy Kerbway of West Virginia, Jo Hedges of London, Sue and B.J., Pat and Rich.
He is preceded in death by his mother and father, sister Katie (Randy) Kidd and brother Bill.
Per David's wishes, there will be no visitation. A memorial service is being planned for Spring 2022 at Maplewood Cemetery, Glouster, Ohio.
Memorials in David's name may be sent to The Madison County Humane Society, 2020 St. Rt. 142 NE, West Jefferson, Ohio 43162.
