David Krivanek Obituary October 31, 2025 – Thomas Poteet & Son Funeral Directors
Augusta, GA – David Krivanek, 84, of Augusta, Georgia, passed away peacefully on October 31, 2025. Born in Mishawaka, Indiana, he was the son of the late Anthony and Vera R. Krivanek.
A devoted husband and loving father, David is survived by his wife, Judy, his son, Matthew, and daughter-in-law, Jenna Krivanek. Family was the center of his world, and his life was defined by his extraordinary kindness, steadfast determination, and deep devotion to those he loved.
David’s lifelong passion for aviation reflected his curiosity and sense of wonder. He loved airplanes and flying, and his enthusiasm for all things aviation never waned. Professionally, he dedicated more than 30 years to Eisenhower Army Medical Center, where he was instrumental in developing the hospital’s nuclear medicine department — work that made a lasting contribution to the Augusta community.
A man of strong faith, David was a longtime member of First Baptist Church of Augusta, where he found fellowship and purpose.
A service will be held on Wednesday, November 12, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. in the Storey Chapel at First Baptist Church of Augusta, with Dr. Will Dyer and Dr. Roger Murchison officiating.

Finding Solutions: Augusta Training Shop celebrates inclusion, community at ‘Red, White, and Create’
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) – Employees with disabilities at the Augusta Training Shop are creating patriotic art as part of a holiday project that drew community members to the nonprofit.
The theme of the event was “Red, White, and Create,” which the script describes as a simple holiday art project focused on inclusion and community.
Eli Sikes, a student at Augusta Technical College, was among the Augusta Tech students who came to the shop to create, take part in the event and give back.
“It feels really good,” Sikes said. “I feel like it’s important to go out in your community and get to know some people you may not have met in your everyday life.”
Sikes said the training shop gives people a place to showcase their talents and skills for others in the community to appreciate.
The Augusta Training Shop is a nonprofit that, for decades, has provided a place where people with disabilities find meaningful work, creative expression and community, according to the script.
Employee Greg Solden said he makes “decoupage balls” and uses papier-mâché on them.
“I love having people here and trying to encourage them,” Solden said.
Liam Welch, a board member with the Augusta Training Shop, said he has watched the organization grow over the years, including moving locations.
“The training shop has grown every single year since I was a young boy coming here,” Welch said.
The Augusta Training Shop is located on Jenkins Street. The shop has a variety of July Fourth art available for purchase, and the script notes that buying crafts from the shop supports jobs for employees.
