Obituary for David M. Borowski
On Wednesday, June 12, 2024, David M. Borowski, dearly beloved husband of Kerry A. Cadden,
passed peacefully into eternal life at the age of 70 years in Vienna, Virginia. He was surrounded
in presence and prayer by family, friends and his beloved buddy Finn. Dave was the devoted
son of Joseph and Rita Borowski. He is survived by his brothers Joe (Linda), Larry (Pat), Billy
(Maryanne) and Michael, and his sister Diane. He was pre-deceased by his brother Danny (Teri)
and his sister Susan (Doug). Dave is also survived by many loving nieces and nephews and their
children, as well as his many friends.
Dave was born in Cheektowaga, New York in 1954. He graduated from Maryvale High School in
1972 and Canisius College in 1979 where he majored in economics. He received a master’s
degree in economics and finance at SUNY Binghamton in 1981. In 1985 he moved to Arlington,
Virginia and worked at the Commodities Future Trading Commission in Washington, DC for
several years. He later served as a financial economist at Freddie Mac where he served for
nearly 30 years. Dave was a travel and car enthusiast, a loyal Buffalo Bills fan and a Buffalo wing
connoisseur. He was a true friend to many and a volunteer at numerous charitable
organizations, Dave and his wife Kerry were married in 1995.
Having survived a devastating burn injury as an infant, Dave and Kerry established a foundation
to support other burn survivors and their families through peer support and scholarships. Their
frequent visits to Virginia burn camps for children and to burn-injured veterans provided
support to both children and adults who endured injuries such as those Dave sustained. His
good humor, determination, faith and perseverance despite enormous challenges were an
inspiration all who met him. Not surprisingly, Dave was registered as an organ donor. The
morning following his passing, his bone tissue was harvested and immediately transplanted to a
patient who had been waiting for a bone graft, making Dave’s final act one that would improve
the life of one more person.
