David G. Enfante, 65, longtime Fort Morgan resident, died Tuesday, April 30, 2019 at the Platte Valley Medical Center in Brighton with his family at his side after a near two-year battle with colon cancer.

Dave was born in Fort Morgan on September 1, 1953 to Robert & Aleatha (Reich) Enfante. He attended area schools and graduated from Brush High School with the class of 1971.

He had a passion for VW Bugs and motorcycles, and loved his career as an oilfield mechanic. Dave loved spending time with family and friends, making it a point to be involved in the lives of his grandchildren, attending their numerous school activities and sporting events. Dave will be remembered as a man of compassion, always putting others before himself even if it meant helping a stranger in need on the roadside. He was blessed with a wonderful family and a multitude of friends that will miss him deeply. Dave most certainly had a good life and he lived it to the fullest.
