David A. “Curley” Hurrelbrink, 71, of Cape Coral, FL, formerly of Springfield, IL, passed away on Saturday, May 20, 2023, at home, after a long battle with pancreatic cancer. He was born on February 2, 1952, in Springfield, the son of Alfred W “Curley” and Vianna “Nan” (O'Connor) Hurrelbrink II. He married the “love of his life” Michele DiGirolamo on June 6, 1992, and she survives.

Dave is preceded in death by his father, one brother Alfred “Bill” Hurrelbrink III, and one sister JoAnn Hurrelbrink.

Dave was a resident of Springfield most of his life and graduated from Griffin High School. He was a respected Police Officer with the Springfield Police Dept, retiring after 28 years. Then worked another 12 years as Court Security Officer for the US Marshal's Service, moving to Florida in 2014.

Dave enjoyed traveling to the Caribbean, sunny beaches and boating, the St. Louis Cardinals, and sharing time with family and friends telling stories over a few beers. But he mostly loved spending time with Michele.
