Excerpt from his obituary:

Requiescat in pace. Reverend Father David C. Downey, age 67, Pastor of St. Therese de Lisieux Catholic Church in Wellington FL, died at 6:49 PM on June 5, 2026. Born February 7, 1959. Father was preceded in death by his parents, Robert A. Downey and Mary Downey, and his siblings Matthew, Edward and Diane Downey, all of Chicago.

Deacons Del Valle, Payne, Rodriguez, and Muller, as well as the dedicated Lay Staff at St. Therese were a tremendous support to Father over the years. He often spoke of his appreciation for them and was sincerely grateful. Father was a Member of the St. Therese Council of the Knights of Columbus, who were always a fraternal support over the years.

May Fr. Downey's soul, and those of all the Faithful Departed, through the Mercy of God, Rest in Peace.

"You Are a Priest Forever"
