David Pecaut Obituary
Mr. David Allen Pecaut, of Warrenton MO, formally of Marthasville, passed away on Wednesday, December 10, 2025, at the age of 73. He was born on November 4, 1952, in Perryville, MO to the late Francis and Naomi (nee: Smith) Pecaut.
David was united in marriage to Marlene Catherine Luecke on April 15, 1972, in New Haven. Together they spent 53 glorious years. They raised three children and built their life in Marthasville. David owned Dave's Service Center for 13+ years in Marthasville. He was a very active citizen and dedicated his time to several associations. He was on the boards of the Heart Transplant Association of St. Louis and Mid America Transplant, after personally surviving a heart transplant. He was also on the Casey Hohman, Marthasville Community Club and the East Central Missouri Tractor Pullers boards. David enjoyed tractor pulls, coaching, and watching his son play hockey, and watching his grandchildren wrestle in tournaments. He was a wonderful mechanic and loved working with his hands. David was ultimately a family man. He adored his wife, children and grandchildren. His gentle words of encouragement and sense of humor will be greatly missed.
David was preceded in death by his parents, Francis and Naomi; three brothers, Phil, Arthur, and Tommy Pecaut; one sister, Bonnie Vedder; in-laws, Gregory and Antonetta Luecke; brother-in-law, James Luecke; sister-in-law, Teresa Luecke, and one niece, Robyn Bloch.

Uncle Dave, I will never forget visiting you the day you woke up from your heart transplant, on my way to the Military Entrance Processing Station. As I stood beside you, I felt God’s hand in that moment—me stepping into a new path, and you being given another precious chapter of life. That day became a quiet reminder of faith, grace, and the power of answered prayers. Your strength and spirit walked with me as I moved forward, and they always will. I trust now that you are at peace, held in God’s love, and watching over us. You will be deeply missed, but your soul lives on in my heart forever.
Jeff, Karen, and Robyn

It is with much sadness to say farewell to a fun person. We will always remember you as a "Tough One to Beat" when pulling tractors. Deepest and sincere sympathy to Marlene and the family. Your long time friends, Gerald and Alice Spurgeon, Columbia, Mo.
