David William Clasing, son of Dale and Mary (Hamilton) Clasing, was born November 23, 1959 in Emmetsburg, Iowa. He grew up in Ruthven where he received his education, graduating from Ruthven High School in 1978.

Dave owned and operated Clasing Excavation and was also employed at the Ruthven Farmers Coop Elevator. Dave and his family lived in South Dakota for two years where he managed a ranch. After returning to Palo Alto County, Dave did grain farming and raised livestock. Most recently he was operating his own trucking business.

Dave also enjoyed riding his motorcycle and playing Euchre on Sundays. He could often be found watching Western shows on T.V. as well as FOX News. Dave had a great personality and a laugh that will be remembered by all that knew him.
