David Martin New

September 7, 1944 - September 26, 2020

David M. New of Tabernacle, NJ, age 76, passed on September 26, 2020. Beloved husband of 44 years to Colette A. New. Born in 1944 in Mt. Holly to the late Emma E. (Beaumont) and David W. New of Tabernacle, David grew up on his grandparents’ farm in Tabernacle with the rest of his family. As a young man, he eventually went to work at GTE in Mt. Laurel for 24 years. Following that he drove the school bus for Mt. Laurel, and took students to Shawnee as well as to sports events for Holy Cross. From there David eventually secured a job with the County working as a Security Guard for the Burlington County Court Building and then on to serve as an officer of Weights and Measures from which he retired in 2014. David was a kind and loving husband, father, grandfather, and friend to many. He had a great sense of humor and a winning smile. Cooking was his specialty and there wasn’t a recipe that he couldn’t replicate or a dish that he couldn’t create that wasn’t delicious! David enjoyed hunting and fishing, and was a mate for several boats at Barnegat Light over the years. He also relished spending his time with his family on the Outer Banks every summer for almost 50 years. He loved the outdoors and never missed a new bird on the lawn or a deer track in the yard. Making sure there were flowers planted every season and growing his vegetable garden occupied David as well. David is survived by his wife, Colette, his sons David L. (Kim) and children Parker D. and Kyleigh M., and Joseph W. (Joanna Radomicki) and children Emma J., Christopher (Ace Radomicki), and Colton J., all of Tabernacle. He is survived by his sister, Jeanette N. Gasiorowski and the late Frank Gasiorowski of Corpus Christi, Texas and their sons Kevin F. (Kim) Tabernacle, Brian D. (Laura) of Corpus Christi, Texas, Todd M. (Rebecca) of Lake Jackson, Texas, and Scott J. (Adrienne) of Corpus Christi, Texas. David is also survived and loved by many cousins, nieces, nephews, 6 sisters-in law and 2 brothers-in-law, extended family, and countless friends. Friends and relatives are invited to visit with the family from 11am-1pm on Friday October 2nd, 2020, at Perinchief Chapels, 438 High Street Mount Holly NJ 08060. A service for David will follow the visitation at 1pm. In lieu of flowers donations can be made in David’s memory to MD Anderson Cancer Center at https://gifts.mdanderson.org/ or the center of your choice for breast cancer research.
