Gowanda – David W. Pachucinski, 53, of Gowanda, passed away peacefully at his home, on Friday, January 10, 2025. He was born on June 27, 1971 in Gowanda, son of the late John and Evelyn (Moore) Pachucinski. On September 21, 2002 he married Nichole “Nikki” Pachucinski, who survives. For many years, Dave worked for Monroe Muffler in Hamburg as well as previously for People, Inc. 

He was a member of Victory Tabernacle in Cattaraugus, and enjoyed being an active member, exemplifying the love he had for Jesus. He will always be lovingly remembered as “DD” or “Pops”, as a beloved son, brother, and grandfather, and especially remembered for his love for his family. When he was young, Dave was an avid trapper, and continued to enjoy the outdoors through fishing and hunting. He also enjoyed music, attending many concerts, and particularly enjoyed Metallica, and Uncle Ben’s Remedy. Dave was also known for his love of Star Wars, and his devout fandom of the Miami Dolphins, and Cleveland Indians. 

Besides his loving wife of 22 years, David is survived by four children; Daniel (Danielle) Pachucinski of Elma, Abrial Hoose of Rochester, Madalyn Pachucinski of Gowanda, and Maysn Pachucinski of Gowanda, as well as a brother, Michael (Michelle) Pachucinski of Elma, and a beloved grandson, Parker Pachucinski, as well as several nieces and nephews.

A memorial service will be held at a later date to be announced.
