David Harcourt Britt, 57, of Linwood, KS passed away on Tuesday, August 25, 2015 at the Olathe Hospice House with his family at his side.

David was born on May 14, 1958 in Shawnee, KS to Everett and Jean Britt. David was lucky enough to have three very loving and drama filled sisters, Sandy, Karin and Kathy. Having many wonderful years growing up around his sisters, David then went to Benedictine College where he had way to many shenanigans with his dear friend Carlos Chavez. David was fortunate to meet a woman just as stubborn as he was through all that. And somehow he convinced her to marry him and on Feb. 20, 1982 Kimberly Schrick said "I do." A few years later they were blessed with two just as rowdy children Cary and Caitlin. David loved his family and friends and sharing many stories with them, even if they were a little, Okay a lot, over exaggerated. And he especially liked spending time outdoors doing the things he loved like fishing, camping, sports and sort of singing music. David was preceded in death by his parents and one nephew Charlie Britt. And is survived by his wife of 33 years Kim Britt of the home. Two children Cary Britt of Linwood, KS and Caitlin Britt and her fiancé Don Reed of Manhattan, KS. Three sisters Sandy Trump (Rich) of Olathe, KS; Karin Gatewood (Randall) of Lavon, TX; and Kathy Anderson (David) of Burleson, TX. And three grand dogs.

Have never forgotten the darling David Harcourt Britt. Never living close and miles and age between us, his personality was not to be forgotten. He stopped by my aging parents , his Aunt Juanita and Uncle Charlie . He was quite a talker and filled in all the gaps of life in Kansas. A Darling person and it is still difficult to believe that his presence is no longer. He cast a long shadow and his memory is not forgotten.

Dear Kim, Family and Cousins,
So grieved when I saw the obituary of my cousin David. How tragic that his bright light was extinguished far too soon. My prayers for all of you as you begin to grieve your loss. There is comfort to know that he was embraced by his loved ones that were waiting to receive him in eternity.
In Jesus, Susan Marie Oswald, St.louis, Mo.
