David A. Gest

June 9, 1955 - December 7, 2020

On December 7th, God gained one of the most beautiful souls- David Allen Gest. David was a social butterfly with a huge heart and smile; his presence would light up the room. Dave could best be described as being a friendly, funny, loyal, very intellectual and hard-working man. He had a great, witty sense of humor and a contagious laugh. He was not perfect (nobody is!) but one thing about Dave for sure was that he always admitted to his flaws. He always stood up for what was right and spoke the truth. Dave was an honest man with integrity and morals. He was big on loyalty, righteousness and being a man of his word. He loved to laugh, joke and make fun; but he really had a very sensitive heart. He would offer anyone the shirt off his back. If you did him wrong or hurt him, he would almost always give you another chance. You could come to him with any problem-he would listen sincerely and never judge. David graduated from RV high school and later Rowan College (Glassboro State college at the time). He was an avid athlete playing baseball, football, and a lot of golf. He was on the golf team in college. He has countless trophies from his athleticism. He is also known to bowl a perfect 300. Dave loved history and was also very intrigued and fascinated with geography and outer space. He led a successful career as a traveling salesman named top seller in the region for many years. David is survived by his loving children Megan, Andrea and Austin Gest. His adoring grandsons Avery, Jeremy Jr. and Dylan. His older brother Tony Gest. He has now joined his devoted mother and father in Heaven, Stanley and Margaret Gest. Due to Covid we are planning a future celebration of David’s life for this upcoming spring. Friends and loved ones can look out for more information and details for David's future celebration of life in the Burlington County Times obituary section and funeral home website. Arrangements are under the direction of Perinchief Chapels, Mt. Holly. www.perinchief.com
