David Lloyd Machado, born July 16, 1943, in Richmond, California, passed away peacefully with family on July 22, 2025, at the age of 82.

David was born to Bernard and Nuelina Machado and raised in Richmond, California, where his love of music and family began early. On May 4, 1963, he married Lucille Ann Machado in Richmond, and together they shared 52 beautiful years of marriage before her passing in 2016.

A proud veteran, David honorably served in the United States Air Force during the Vietnam era as a member of the 724th Air Force Band, 25th Air Division. His passion for music and dedication to service were lifelong hallmarks of his character.

Following his military service, David worked for Exxon Refinery, where he dedicated 32 years of hard work and commitment. Upon retirement, he returned to one of his greatest loves—playing the trombone. A gifted musician, David performed with numerous groups throughout Northern California and later in Lee’s Summit, Missouri. Once he picked up his trombone again, he never looked back.

David had a deep love for travel, especially when it meant spending time with or visiting family. He had a remarkable ability to stay connected with loved ones near and far and was always intentional about keeping in touch.

He was preceded in death by his beloved wife Lucille; his parents, Bernard and Nuelina; and his sister, Gladness Medford. Those left to honor his memory include his sons, Timothy Machado and wife, Angela and Daniel Machado and wife, Michele; granddaughters, Sarah Machado and Tessa Lovegreen; brother, Walter Machado; and nephews and nieces, Kelly, Ron, Ruthie, Billie Jean, and Mary, along with many extended family and friends.

A Celebration of Life will be held at 1:00 PM (CST) on August 30, 2025, at the First Baptist Church of Lee’s Summit. The private, shareable link for the Celebration of Life live stream is below.
