Obituary of David B. Jevic
Readington – David B. Jevic, 60, passed away suddenly on March 17, 2021 at home.
A lifelong resident of Central Jersey and graduate of Rutgers University, David lived in Arizona and Arkansas during his college football career. In college, David was a heavyweight champion wrestler and a walk on nose guard and special team’s football player for Universities in Arizona and Arkansas.
After college, David initially worked in the marketing department for Lord & Taylor in Manhattan, then went on to manage a re-seller retail store in South Plainfield and assisted real estate agents securing mortages for homebuyers. During his career, David also worked at Jake’s Randolph Tire Service and Texaco station and started his own Landscaping Company in Plainfield; he retired from A&P Supermarkets in Warren.
With a wonderful smile and infectious laugh, he lived life with a fierce determination and a childlike sense of humor.

David, a man who you could never forget once meeting him, will be missed forever and forever remembered as a loving son, brother, uncle and a great friend.
