David Maresca

David “Dave” Maresca, age 66, of Wayne, passed Saturday, February 11, 2023.

He was born in Jersey City to the late Frank (d. 2018) and Constance (d. 2015) Maresca and eventually moved to Wayne.

Dave graduated from Queen of Peace High School with the Class of 1975. Straight out of high school he worked with his dad at the Fairmont Lumber Company in Jersey City.  He would spend the rest of his life in the lumber industry having worked as a sales associate for many years at the family business Maresca Lumber and Building Supply in Pequannock.

Dave was generally quiet and the kind of person who would do anything for anyone. He was conscientious, caring, easygoing, and was always positive.  He never had a bad word to say about others and was always family oriented. Dave enjoyed car rides out into the country and always enjoyed finding and driving by the homes of local celebrities. In his youth he enjoyed playing the drums and just about a year ago had taken it up again. Dave also loved his nieces, nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews like they were his own children. At family functions he would often make funny faces at them and always enjoyed playing with them.

David was the loving son of the late Frank and Constance Maresca; loving brother of Frank Maresca and his wife Lorraine of Kinnelon and Thomas Maresca and his wife Rose of Kinnelon; he was the much loved uncle of Frank and his wife Laura Maresca, Danielle and her husband Andrew Conforti, Jenine and her husband Gary Ritacco, Thomas Maresca, and Christine and her wife Lauren Maresca; he was the cherished great-uncle of Vincent, Layla, AJ, Rae, Arley and Cameron.
