David Koch, a beloved chiropractor and dedicated educator, fulfilled his life on May 25, 2026. Born on February 28, 1952, David lived a life filled with purpose and joy, touching the hearts of thousands through his unwavering commitment to teaching and healing.

For over four decades, David devoted himself to the philosophy, science, and art of chiropractic care, influencing countless students who appreciated him not only for his expertise but also for his loving, friendly, and cheerful nature. His passion for educating others was evident in every lecture and clinic session, and he considered his students his greatest legacy.

In retirement, David found great joy in vintage camping adventures, swimming at the Y, and tending to his lawn. Family was at the center of his life, shared with his wife, Rebecca Koch; his daughter, Sarah Burns (Escher); and his grandchild, Hollis Burns. He is survived by his sisters, Felicia Stewart and Cynthia Dunham and preceded in his passing by his late sisters Elyse Newton and Belinda Koch, and his parents, Gilbert and Yveline Koch.

An active member of the Unitarian Universalist Church of Spartanburg, David enriched the community with his enthusiastic singing in the choir and his heartfelt presence. He was a man who celebrated life in all its fullness, a sentiment he eloquently embraced as he did not view death as a loss but as the culmination of a fulfilled life—a life wholly lived until its last moment.
