I was one of David's teachers when he was a student at Pond Elementary. I recall him being a delightful young man who came from a wonderful family. I am so very sorry for your loss.

Dauster, David Robert, passed away unexpectedly on Sunday, March 23, 2025 at the age of 41.
Beloved son of David A. and Merilee Dauster; father of Dawson J. Dauster; brother of Derrick (Becky) Dauster and Danielle "Dani" (Mark) Dolan; uncle of Dakota Dauster, Waylon Dauster, and Launa Dolan; former husband of Katie Dauster; dear cousin and friend.
David was a devoted father, loving son, caring brother, cherished uncle, and loyal friend, who leaves behind him a legacy of kindness, hard work, and selflessness.
A true "fixer" at heart, David was the one you could always count on, whether you needed a helping hand with a project or someone to drop everything to be there for you in your time of need. No matter the task, big or small, he approached every challenge with unwavering dedication and a genuine desire to make things right.
Above all, David was a devoted father who poured endless love into his son, guiding him with wisdom and compassion. As a son, brother, and uncle, his endless support created a tight-knit family who will miss him dearly. His generous spirit extended to all who had the privilege of knowing him, and he was a friend who could always be counted on to offer a helping hand.
An avid lover of the outdoors, David found peace and joy at the river, where he would often spend hours surrounded by nature’s beauty.
Though he may no longer walk among us, David's memory will live on in the hearts of those who loved him. His legacy of love, loyalty, and generosity will never be forgotten. He was truly one of a kind, and he will be deeply missed by all who had the honor of knowing him
