David Edmondson Boedker passed away unexpectedly on Saturday, Feb. 22, 2025, at Regional Memorial Hospital in Hollywood, Florida, from complications of a sudden catastrophic illness. He was air transported home to Danville, Pa., escorted by his wife, Lisa, and three of his children, David, Chelsea, and Colton, while Courtney prepared for their arrival.

David was born in Danville, Pennsylvania, on Nov. 28, 1961, a son of the late Grier Youngman and Mary Carol (Edmondson) Boedker. David graduated from Danville Area High School and attended Bloomsburg University. He resided in both Danville, Pa., and Fort Lauderdale, Fla.

David dedicated 38 years as CEO and President of Keystone Insurers Group before transitioning to the role of Chief Advisor. He also founded Keystone Agency Partners, Agency KPI, and Veruna, among other ventures in the industry. He was also co owner of Associated Insurance Management of Danville, Pa. David was a true visionary, whose unwavering enthusiasm and passion inspired not only KEYSTONE, but everyone he touched, to achieve far more than anyone ever thought possible. His negotiating capabilities, leadership and vision were widely recognized in the industry. Beyond his many professional achievements, David served as an Honorary Deputy Sheriff in Montour County, was a member of the Danville Revitalization Corporation, as well as holding other community positions over the decades. He was also an avid philanthropist for many causes, such as the Autism Foundation, and a parishioner of St. Joseph Church in Danville.

He is survived by his beloved wife, Lisa Marie (Novello) Boedker of Danville; daughter Courtney Bianca (Boedker) Eck and son-in-law Ryan Eck of Dallas, Pa.; son David Edmondson Boedker II and daughter-in-law Kylie (Lemon) Boedker of Berthoud, Colo.; daughter Chelsea Edmondson (Boedker) Delgado and son-in-law Benny Delgado of Wilmington, N.C.; son Colton Youngman Boedker of Arlington, Va.; grandchildren Vienna Grace Eck, Julianna Bianca Eck, and Aden Patrick Angelo Eck of Dallas, Pa.; brother Grier Edmondson Boedker Sr. of Danville; and nephew Grier Edmondson Boedker Jr. of Bloomsburg, Pa.

David cherished greatly his time spent with his wife traveling, exploring, golfing and boating as well as driving his red Viper, hunting, skiing, deep-sea fishing, reading and spending time at his camper together. He also loved flying as a private pilot and found great enjoyment being a part-time beekeeper with his wife, Lisa. He was a devoted husband, father, and PopPop.

Above all else, his greatest joy was treasured moments he spent with his wife, children and grandchildren on holidays, family vacations, events and in sharing traditions.

Family and friends are invited to a visitation on Tuesday, March 4, 2025, at 11 a.m. - 1 p.m. at St. Joseph Catholic Church, 68 Center Street, Danville. A Mass of Christian Burial will follow at 1 p.m., with Fr. Timothy Marcoe as Celebrant. Burial will be private and at the convenience of David's family.
