Submit a PhotoDavid R. Weigel, 65, passed away on Christmas Eve. During a time of giving and celebration, David was called away from this earth. As an amazing giving soul, who always puts others first, we will always remember and cherish his giving spirit this time of year.
David’s legacy will continue through his wife, Michele, his son Jack, and his stepdaughter Alex. He was loved by his extended family, his brother Johnathan, his stepsons, and countless friends that David considered his family.
David loved talking about his past adventures. He spoke about his multiple skydives, his golfing days, and great memories on his motorcycles. He spoke very highly of his time watching Jack play LaCrosse and Hockey, and going with Jack to see magicians such as Penn and Teller and David Copperfield. David also loved the Green Bay Packers.
David cherished experiences over material things and always wanted to travel, make memories, and create those experiences. He was able to travel to every state in the U.S. and traveled to Rome, Paris, London, and many more.
David was very proud of his past and his work with EMD Serono and when he retired two years ago he brought his brilliant business mind into his home and family and ensured that his loved ones were taken care of. His absence has left a void and he will never be forgotten.
The celebration of David’s life will be on January 23rd at 2pm at Gilbert Memorial Park at 2100 East Queen Creek Road, Gilbert, AZ. 85297.

While I did not work closely with Dave for long at EMD Serono, I did have the fortune of many hallway / coffee station / POA meeting conversations with him over several years. His energy and caring ways were infectious and welcoming to all. He always spoke highly of his family and his email signature contained a quote I try to remind myself of often… “Not every successful man is a good father, but every good father is a successful man.” Slainte, Dave

I am really saddened to hear about David’s sudden passing. We worked very closely together years ago at Serono and became good friends, not just colleagues. We collaborated on many projects and co-facilitated lots of training sessions, and we spent a great deal of time traveling together. Some of my favorite memories are the funny and thoughtful conversations we had over dinner in cities across the country. Working with him was truly one of the highlights of my career. He was smart, inquisitive, funny, and genuinely interesting, and I was grateful to call him a friend. Although we lost touch over the years, I was happy for him when he retired. My deepest condolences go out to his family and loved ones. He will be deeply missed, and I’m thankful to have known him and shared so many meaningful moments together.
I am so sorry to hear this news. Dave was always a great person to work with at EMD Serono. He always brought passion and positivity and went out of his way to acknowledge everyone’s contributions. My deepest condolences to Dave’s family.
