David D. Lenox

David D. Lenox, age 70, of Columbus, passed away on Friday, October 28, 2022 after a courageous battle with cancer. It is with great sadness that we announce that our beloved husband, dad, pop-pop, brother and everyone's friend, has gotten his well-deserved trip to Heaven. He touched the lives of many and for that he will be greatly missed.

Dave graduated from Central High School Class of 1971 where he played baseball.  He retired from Allied Mineral Products after 30 years of service. Dave had a generous heart and enjoyed giving back to the community where he grew up. He was a dedicated Ohio State Buckeye fan and an avid golfer. He loved spending his winters in Florida and enjoyed classic cars; especially his 1955 Chevy that he restored himself.
