David Matthew Wible (born July 30, 1969) – passed away suddenly on November 2, 2026, in Wallingford, PA. David was the proud father of his two daughters who adored him beyond measure. He loved, and was beloved by, his immediate and extended family and many friends and work colleagues who became friends. David was quick to help anyone, anytime: he was generous with his time, attention, presence, friendship and his love.
David was taken too soon and so young at only 57. But he lived life to the fullest. He never saw a problem he could not tackle and fix. He took pride in his job and helping his colleagues. David had a very wide circle of friends in and around Philadelphia and New Jersey, West Virginia and beyond.
Passionate about racing since high school, David started out autocross racing in parking lots in the Philly area. Later, he raced in a Mazda Miata class and won two SCCA regional championships, which were among his greatest and proudest moments. David had a gift for all mechanical things, fostered from a young age. He could fix a friend’s race car mid-race, soup up a child’s battery-operated drivable jeep (as he did for his grandniece) or rebuild a golf cart and leaf blower from the bare frame to be better and faster than it was before. He had an amazing gift for solving problems.
David’s beautiful blue eyes and bright smile could light up the room. He loved the ocean and surfing. A passionate Philadelphia Eagles and Flyers hockey fan, he never gave up in the tough years and reveled in the glory of the Eagles’ two Super Bowl victories.
David was a devoted and loving father to Hannah and Dillen Wible, who adored and now dearly miss him and the life lessons he gave them. David took great pride in being a father to them.
David is survived by his wife of 23 years, Tami (Traynor) Wible; daughters, Hannah and Dillen; his dear parents, Lorraine and Howard Wible; brother, Mark (Caroline); sisters: Nancy (Rick Burrows), his twin, Colleen (Steve Schneck), and Megan (Steve Clark); and numerous nieces, nephews, cousins and friends who will never forget the love and joy he brought to their lives.
