July 1, 1956 �" December 19, 2016
Born in San Francisco, David was raised in Atherton, graduating from Menlo Atherton High School in 1974. A decade later he moved back to San Francisco. While working in the service industry he also built his own business, Bloomers Flowers, and was a well-known bartender for over a decade at the Edge bar.
Christmas was David's passion. Every corner of his Corbett home was adorned each year in jaw-dropping decor and he would invite friends to celebrate while collecting donations for local nonprofits.
An avid clubber and fan dancer, David dedicated 25 years to the iconic Folsom fundraiser Real Bad, and was bestowed with its lifetime achievement award in 2009.
Dan Naccarato, the love of David's life, passed away in 2013. After that he downsized until finding the right home in Palm Springs in 2014. Although he was enjoying a great life in the desert, complications from a septic infection cut it short.
David is survived by his parents, Carl and Ilda Barbieri; his younger brother, Jack Barbieri, wife, Danielle, and their two children, Joey and Tess.
Come celebrate David and a life that touched so many others at 158 Carnelian Way, San Francisco, Thursday, January 26, from 6 to 9 p.m.
