David "Dave" Hawrey

David "Dave" Hawrey, 78, a man with a wonderful sense of humor and a deep dedication to his family, passed away on May 24, 2025. He was loved by many and will be profoundly missed.

He was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. He was an accomplished Wall Street banker at the Bank of New York. In 1990, after retiring from his career on Wall Street he moved to Rio Rancho, New Mexico.

A proud veteran, Dave honorably served our country in the Navy during the Vietnam War, as a Boatswain’s Mate. His commitment to service and his country was a testament to his character.

Dave shared a beautiful life with his wife, Linda, celebrating nearly 56 years of marriage, a partnership built on love, laughter, and unwavering support. He was a loving father to his two children, Diane and David, and shared a loving relationship with his son-in-law, Eric. He was preceded in death by his beloved daughter-in-law, Kristy. Dave's legacy lives on through his four cherished grandchildren, Matthew, Joseph, Talia, and Chad. He was excitedly anticipating the arrival of a great-grandchild, as Talia and her husband Cody are expecting. Dave is also survived by his brother George and sister Joanne, and his beloved dog, Brooklyn, who will surely miss his treats.

Dave's warm presence and unwavering spirit will be deeply missed by all his family and friends.

A viewing will be held at Daniel's Funeral Home on Sara Road on Wednesday, June 4, 2025, from 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM. 7:00 PM Rosary. 

A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 10:00 AM on Thursday, June 5, 2025, at The Church of Incarnation, 2309 Monterrey Road, Rio Rancho.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made in Dave's memory to his favorite charities, the Tunnel to Towers Foundation (T2T.org) or Wounded Warrior Project (woundedwarriorproject.org).
