David B. Picott, age 61, of Rossford, OH, passed away peacefully Sunday, December 17, 2023, at home with his loving family by his side, after fighting a courageous battle with cancer. He was born on January 2, 1962, to Donald and Rose Marie (Zywocki) Picott in Toledo, OH.
In addition to his father, he was preceded in death by his grandparents, Stanley and Mary Zywocki, Maurice and Elnora Picott; and his uncle and aunt, Daniel and Christine Zywocki. Left to cherish David's memory are his loving wife, Lynn Picott; daughters Amanda Pinardo and Jordan Pinardo, son Drew Pinardo (Sophia); grandson Wyatt Pinardo, mother, Rose Marie Picott; brother Doug Picott (Megan), and nephew and niece, Alan Picott and Sara Picott. He was loved by so many other family members, friend and co-workers.
Dave was an interesting individual with a rich and fulfilling life. He worked as a highly skilled machinist for nearly 4 decades at Exco Engineering in Toledo, Ohio. He loved his job and always hoped to return to it.
Aside from his love for his family and spending time with them, he enjoyed fishing, camping, anything weather related (he was unofficially dubbed Doppler Dave), being a licensed ham radio operator, and a certified storm tracker. His collection of ham radios and barometers was second to none.
His great sense of humor was a source of joy for everyone who knew him, and he was a friend to all and was always willing to lend a helping hand.
He will be missed tremendously by his family and friends, and his passing has left a huge void.
