David Coyle, 58, left us too soon on June 6, 2015.

After spending his youth in New Jersey, David moved to Portland, OR before settling in Seattle, WA. DC, as he was fondly known, worked for several restaurants and wine companies including Duke’s Chowder House and the Metropolitan Grill. He left behind a wonderful legacy in the restaurant industry, mentoring many, creating much laughter and smiles, and making a difference for many years in so many lives. His quick wit and stories were legendary and they will be missed.

David is survived by his wife of 20 years, Karna; the joys of his life, sons, Cameron (18) and Christopher (15); mother, Nancy Coyle-Sharkin; sisters, Denise and Mariann; and brothers, Kevin and Robert.

A memorial service will be held Sunday, June 28, 2015, 6-8:30 p.m., at The Des Moines Activity Center, 2045 S. 216th St., Des Moines, WA. In lieu of gifts, his family has established a gofundme account for Cameron and Christopher’s education.
