David Wiley

David Allen Wiley of Darlington passed away Monday at home.  He was 64.

David loved hunting, collecting and fixing old tractors, farming, pretty much anything that would get him outdoors. He loved when his grandkids would come visit him and he would spend as much time with them as he could. In his youth he was active in 4-H, FFA, and band, even getting to travel to Disneyworld with the WeBo band. He enjoyed spending time with his kids on the farm as they grew up, the farm where he and his brother and sister spent so much time growing up. He loved to be around family and he was the best husband, father, brother, son and Grandpa he could be. He was also the best Dad Joke teller, he could always be counted on to make you smile with one of his belly laughs.

Born Aug. 19, 1960 in Crawfordsville, he was the son of Wayne Wiley and Barbara Burkhardt Wiley.  He graduated from Western Boone, class of 1979.  He married Trina Griggs on June 30, 1984.  He worked at R.R. Donnelley for 44 years, retiring last year.
