David H. Dutch, who was 67 years old, of Hopewell, NJ, died on June 21, 2018 at the Penn Medicine Princeton Medical Center after an eleven year battle with cancer.

David was born in Philadelphia, PA on May 17, 1951, son of the late Elizabeth Herbert Hobin. He was raised in Hopewell, NJ and lived there his entire life.  He loved his town.

David met his sweetheart, surviving wife Karen Doucette Dutch, at Ohio University and they were married on June 15, 1974.  They owned their antique stores in Lambertville and Hopewell together for 25 years.  He loved finding treasures and to “make a deal.”

David’s athleticism and compassion were rivaled only by his great sense of humor.  His stalwart friends at the Hunterdon Hematology and Oncology Center can attest to his tenancity in the face of adversity.

He lived for tennis and golf, which he played throughout his fight.  He will be forever remembered as a loving and faithful husband, father, brother and friend. He is survived by his wife, Karen, daughter, Kimberly Dutch, and twin sister, Deborah Dutch.

Life celebration and cremation at the Chapel of Ewing Crematory, Ewing Township, NJ was private under the care and direction of Wright & Ford Family Funeral Home and Cremation Services, 38 State Highway 31, Flemington, NJ.
