Dave Nelson Sims

Dave Nelson Sims, cherished resident of Delaware, Ohio, departed this world on July 30, 2026, enveloped by the warmth and love of his devoted family.

For 25 blessed years, Dave was the beloved husband to Suzy Sims, with whom he shared an unwavering bond. As a nurturing father to Llindsay (Duston "Dusty") Carico and Kyle (Brandie) Harris, his heart overflowed with pride and affection. He extended this love to his treasured grandchildren: Bryce (Emmi Cunningham) Woolard, Kameron Harris, Chance Mounts, Kadence Harris, and Kahless Harris, each of whom brought immense joy to his life.

A true aficionado of sports, Dave was particularly passionate about the New England Patriots, a fervor reflected in his extensive collection of baseball caps and NFL jerseys. His love for these teams was matched only by his meticulous dedication to his hobbies of building model cars and crafting intricate LEGO creations, which he delighted in sharing with friends and family, each piece a testament to his patience and intricate skills.

Dave held a profound connection with his daughter Llindsay and daughter-in-law, Brandie, whose support was a guiding light during his final days. Together with his wife, Suzy, they reveled in journeys to cherished destinations like Hawaii and Florida, but it was the shared moments and time together that they treasured most.

The legacy Dave leaves behind is woven with memories and imbued with the love he imparted to all who knew him—most notably, his cherished grandchildren, his children, and his most beloved wife.
