David P. Podbielski
June 29, 1961 ~ July 03, 2026
David P. Podbielski, DMD, 65, of Jupiter, Florida, formerly of Demarest, New Jersey, passed away unexpectedly from a heart attack on July 3, 2026.
David is survived by his devoted wife of 34 years, Ann; his children, Manny (partner, Kristen) and Billie (husband, David); his grandchildren, Austin (wife, Kristina), Christian, and Michael; and his cherished great-granddaughter, Mia.
David was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather whose greatest joy was caring for the people he loved. His kindness, patience, and generous heart touched countless lives, both within his family and throughout the community he faithfully served.
For more than 30 years, David practiced dentistry with exceptional skill and genuine compassion. While he was known for transforming smiles, what truly set him apart was the time he spent getting to know each patient. He believed every person deserved to be treated with kindness, respect, and personal attention. Many of his patients became lifelong friends, and he considered them an extension of his family. His dedication to his profession and his unwavering commitment to excellence earned him the respect and admiration of colleagues and patients alike.
Outside of the office, David found his greatest peace on the water. He embraced the salt life and loved boating, swimming, and water skiing. Whether spending time on the ocean with family or simply enjoying the beauty of the water, those moments brought him great happiness.
More than anything, David will be remembered for the love he gave so freely, the lives he touched so deeply, and the legacy of compassion, integrity, and selflessness he leaves behind.
A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, July 18, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. at St. Patrick’s Catholic Church, 13591 Prosperity Farms Rd, Palm Beach Gardens, FL 33410.
The family invites those whose lives were touched by David to share memories and sign the online guestbook at

Annie, mani and family,
My heart goes out to you and all your family. I am so saddened to hear of Dave’s passing. He was not only my dentist. I’ll always remember his warm smile, his kindness and the laughs we shared, and the way he made everyone feel so welcome and cared for. I have so many fond memories of time spent with Dave, Annie, and Manny, and I will always hold those moments close to my heart.
My heart goes out to Annie, Manny, and everyone who loved him. Dave was such a kind, genuine, and special person, and his loss is deeply felt. I am so very sorry for your loss.
Unfortunately, I won’t be able to attend the services because I’m leaving town tomorrow, but when I return, I would truly love to get together and spend some time with you. Please know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
Love always,
Danielle and Brooke

So sorry to hear of Dave’s passing. We have such great memories of going to Florida and tailgating with Dave at the Dolphins games. He had a bigger than life personality and was truly a great guy. He will truly be missed. Our most sincere condolences to your family.

I will always remember Dave for 1: his friendship of 30+ yrs and 2: his amazing dental skills. Even though a procedure might take 15 minutes, you could always count on 60 minutes of conversation and debate in the chair. I will miss that terribly! Gods speed buddy.

Im sending my sincerest sympathy to u and your family. I know your wonderful memories will sustain u at this time. Sending much love!

Annie, BJ, & Manny – without love there is no grief. We grieve Dave’s passing as friends who shared many life stages & experiences, even though he was always late for some of these experiences. The Pods was always ready to help someone, somehow. His generosity was extended to many people from his personal life to his practice to his neighbors. May Dave be in the eternal embrace of loved ones and may the family find solace in a life well lived but too short; got to the 4th quarter way too soon. With our love and sympathy.

I just reached out to my dentist’s office for a follow-up appointment, and with no response I searched my dentist’s name. I am SHOCKED to read this news!! Dr. P. was a thoughtful, kind and very good dentist. I will miss his skills and my visits to his office.
My heart goes out to Ann and his family.
What a loss!! So sorry….
