David Bruce Reppard

David Bruce Reppard, 75, of Richmond, Virginia, passed away peacefully on November 28, 2024, surrounded by his adoring wife and children. Born in Woodbury, NJ on September 19, 1949, he was preceded in death by his parents Warren G. Reppard and Elnora Robinson Reppard and his brother, Warren Thomas Reppard.

Dave is survived by his loving wife of 52 years, Leslie Hatchard Reppard; his daughter, Courtney Michelle Roberts; his son, Warren Hatchard Reppard, Sr. (Shannon); four adoring grandchildren: William, Hudson, Anna and Hatcher Reppard; his sisters, Jill Reppard Erickson and Sue Reppard Dignan; and, a host of wonderfully fun nieces and nephews.

Dave lived the majority of his childhood and teenage years in the Annapolis, Maryland area attending Severna Park High School, where he played football and lacrosse and met the love of his life, Leslie, at age 17. He then studied Mathematics at the United States Naval Academy; and, after graduating in 1972, he served on Active Duty in the Navy for 5 years and was honorably discharged in 1981. Commander Reppard continued his service for another 22 years in the Naval Reserves while simultaneously serving 28 years as a Special Agent with Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) serving our country including being stationed in Italy.

Despite these honorable contributions to our country, Dave would tell you that he is most proud of his grandchildren. PopPop could often be found driving carpools, cheering on the sidelines, doing projects with the grandkids, or taking them on special trips.

In retirement, Dave and Leslie loved to travel far and wide, they were avid supporters of Young Life Ministry (in which both his children and grandchildren participate), and Dave was a committed member, deacon, and servant-leader at his church, Grace Community Presbyterian, where he faithfully cared for those around him.

A memorial service will be held at 2pm on December 13, 2024 at Grace Covenant Presbyterian Church (1627 Monument Ave, Richmond, VA). A celebration of life will follow at 4pm. In lieu of flowers, tribute donations can be made to Young Life Youth Ministry (https://giving.younglife.org - Please designate your gift to: Hanover County - VA58 or West End - VA45).
