Born and raised in Hull, David spent his entire life in the community he cherished.

Known for his loving humor, steady presence, and deep connection to his family, he touched the lives of many throughout the years. 

He is survived by his beloved daughter, Stella (Willis) Scata and her wife, Briana, and his grandchild, Giuseppe. He is also survived by two loving brothers, Richard Willis Jr. and Gary Willis, and their partners, and many nieces and nephews.

He was predeceased by his parents, Richard Willis and Lillian (Miller) Willis, whom he loved dearly, as well as his brother, Kenneth Willis. Those who knew David will remember his love of the sea, his dedication to family, and the quiet kindness he showed to others throughout his life.

A celebration of life will be held at a later date. The family is grateful for the support, prayers, and kindness extended to them during this difficult time.
