David Roy Borup, born in Huntington Park CA on April 13, 1957 passed away Tuesday October 11, 2011. Beloved husband, father, son, brother, Grandpa and friend went to sleep Monday night and woke up with the Lord.

Dave was a longtime resident of the Tri-Cities. He graduated from Columbia High School in 1975 and attended college in Idaho. He worked at Hanford as a Lead Health Physics Technician for 29 years, and was lovingly referred to as "The Legend". He was a respected mentor and leader. He influenced many people throughout his career. He had a great sense of humor, a sharp mind and everybody loved "Story Time with Dave".

He was an avid outdoorsman, he liked to fish and hunt as often as possible. But his greatest love was his family. He purposely planned events and family traditions to create a life time of memories for his children and grandchildren. Some said that he had a blended family - but he didn't feel that way. We all knew he loved us deeply. He adored his 6 grandchildren.

He is survived by his wife Joyce Borup of Pasco, mother Barbara Borup of Richland, son Bryan Borup of Seattle, son Cameron Borup of Seattle, son Matthew Borup of Pasco, step-son Jeff Brooks (Michelle) of West Richland, step-daughter Nicole Munoz (John) of Pasco, step-son Aaron Brooks of Pasco, 6 grandchildren Brooke, JT, Kylie, Lynnsey, Kailey and Evan, and brother Scott Borup of Hawaii.

Dave was preceded in death by his father Lee Roy Borup.

A memorial service will be held at Einan's Funeral Home in Richland on Friday, October 14, 2011 at 11am.
