David Allen Shumaker

December 27, 1961 - January 8, 2021

Sadly, David Allen Shumaker, 59, passed away recently at his home in Mentor, Ohio after enduring a long­ term illness. Born December 27, 1961, in Lorain, Ohio, he was the proud son of the late Gerald and Monica Shumaker, brother to G. Thomas Shumaker (Nancy), Dennis Shumaker (Carol), Jacqueline David (Tirone), Donald Shumaker (Barbara), Richard Shumaker and uncle to many nieces, nephews and grandnieces and grandnephews. After graduating from Cleveland State University with an Honors Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering, he began a successful career with General Electric as a project manager, later at Park Ohio as a manufacturing engineer, and finally at Mid-West Forge where he assumed responsibility for all plant engineering operations. There, his career came to an untimely end for health reasons. He had multiple talents and interests such as photography and framing, woodworking, design and home improvement projects, scuba diving and tropical fish aquariums. His interest in classical cars led to the restoration of a 1966 Chevrolet Corvette, his pride and joy. The world has lost a creative and talented man, far too soon. Thank you to John, Debbie, and Kim for their devoted and unwavering friendship to David. Private graveside services in memory of David will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made in his name to The National Ataxia Foundation at www.ataxia.org Arrangements entrusted to the Brunner Sanden Deitrick Funeral Home & Cremation Center, 8466 Mentor Ave., Mentor, OH 44060.
