November 03, 2019

Koolie Koulavong, 36, of Manheim, passed away Sunday, November 3, 2019 following a lengthy battle with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. Born in Othello, WA he was the son of Vilayvone Koulavong and the late Bounsom Koulavong.

Koolie was a 2002 graduate of Manheim Central High School and loved being part of the Barons family. He was an avid outdoorsman who enjoyed fishing and spending time in nature. He also had a love for food and cooking and often found him cooking for his friends and family. He was a fan of many Atlanta sports teams including the Falcons, Bulldogs and Braves. Most of all, David was treasured by the many children in his life and he embraced every moment with them. His bright personality always made people around him laugh and he made friends anywhere.

In addition to his mother, he is survived by his sisters, Pamela and Monica, brothers Elvis and Kelly and Uncle Alen and Aunt Kathy Koulavong.

Family and friends will be received from 6-8 PM on Friday, November 8, 2019 at the Charles F. Snyder Jr. Funeral Home & Crematory, 3110 Lititz Pike Lititz, PA 17543. A Buddhist Ceremony will begin at 2:30 PM on Saturday November 9, 2019 at the funeral home.

Sweet Koolie,friend of our Zach-
We were blessed to have known you back in the QVC family days, your smile could light up a room!  You fought so hard to stay in this world, and you touched many lives, the reward now is to rest easy with no sickness. It was a privilege to have known you- you gave our family such love when we lost Zach. You guys are together now, and we can only imagine the bear hug you 2 exchanged and the smiles on both of your faces on seeing each other again!
Sending sincerest sympathy, prayers and love to your family as they navigate the world without you . You are an angel among us- fly high and be free!
Wendy and Brian Lefever
