His family was the center of his universe, and he took immense pride in their accomplishments and happiness. David's commitment to service extended beyond his family. He proudly served in the National Guard with honor and distinction. David also built a remarkable career at the Florida Department of Transportation, where he retired after thirty-two years serving at the pleasure of the Governor as both a Professional Service Administrator and civil engineer. His strong work ethic, dependability, and attention to detail earned him the respect and admiration of his colleagues and employees throughout his tenure.

His love for sports was evident in his many roles, including Chairman of the Sunshine Games Boys Basketball Tournament, Chairman of the Florida AAU Boys Basketball Committee, and as a Co-Founder and Member of the Bartow Yellow Jackets Booster Club. He also held the position of Managing Director for various prestigious events, including the 7-Up National AAU Select Team Tour of Europe and the National Jr. Men's Tour of the Soviet Union in 1983. David's enthusiasm for sports was infectious, and if there was a ball involved, he was sure to be found cheering on teams and encouraging young athletes. David's life story is one of dedication, purpose, love, and service. His laughter and jovial spirit could light up a room, and his fun-loving nature made him a friend to many.

Eugeniusz Barcewicz, a devoted husband, father, and grandfather, passed away peacefully on April 6, leaving behind a legacy of strength, sacrifice, and unwavering love for his family. Born in western Russia during a time of great turmoil, Eugeniusz's early life was shaped by the aftermath of World War II. He and his family were forced to relocate to Poland, where he grew up under the challenges of communist rule. Despite the hardships, Eugeniusz built a life rooted in hard work, resilience, and deep responsibility to those he loved. He began his professional life in Poland as a physics, chemistry, Russian Language, and physical education teacher, a role that reflected his intellect and disciplined nature. Later, when his wife, Krystyna, won a green card in the U.S. immigration lottery, Eugeniusz made the brave decision to start anew in America. Together, they moved to New York City, where he adapted to his new life by taking on physically demanding work in construction. His quiet determination and tireless work ethic laid the foundation for a better future for his family. After retiring, Eugeniusz and Krystyna moved to Fort Myers, Florida, to enjoy the sunshine and to be closer to their grandchildren, Sebastian and Christian. Though he was a stern and steady presence, his love for his family was deep. Eugeniusz was a man of few words but strong convictions. He valued tradition, education, and hard work. His expectations were high because he believed in the potential of his children and grandchildren, and he wanted nothing more than to see them succeed. He is survived by his three sons: Marek (and his wife Agata), Darek (and his wife Kasia), and Alex (and his wife Lynette), as well as his grandsons, Sebastian and Christian. He is reunited in peace with his beloved wife, Krystyna. A Funeral Mass will be celebrated 10:30 A.M. Wednesday, April 16, 2025, at Resurrection Catholic Church, Riverview, with the family receiving friends one hour prior to the Mass.
