David E. Canova Obituary

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the death of David E. Canova of Starke, Florida, who passed away on November 3, 2025, at the age of 85, leaving to mourn family and friends. Leave a sympathy message to the family in the guestbook on this memorial page of David E. Canova to show support.

As we bid David farewell, let us not mourn the absence of his physical form, but rather celebrate the essence of his spirit that lingers in the spaces between moments. For David is not truly gone, but merely transformed, his energy intertwined with the fabric of the universe itself, forever dancing among the stars.

He was loved and cherished by many people including: his parents, Levy Canova and Mona Canova (Alderman); his wife Dee Canova (Walters); his sons, Brian (Erica Pfenniger) and Jason Canova (Peijie); and his grandson David.

In lieu of flowers contributions may be made to Kingsley Lake Baptist Church Building Fund, 6289 Mary Dot Lake, Starke, FL 32091.
