David TESSLING Obituary

Age 58 of Wyoming, MN CANCER SUCKS!! On April 5th, 2019 Dave left cancer behind and has gone cruising again with his parents, Roger and Mary (Wayman) Tessling. Dave was born on March 6, 1961 in St. Paul, MN, the big brother to Packer fan Tammy Troje. Dave married the love of his life Mary Mueller on June 16, 1984. To this union were born awesome daughters Amanda and Stephanie. Adding to the fun dynasty are grandsons Jameson and Clyde. He will be greatly missed by the outlaws, aunts and uncles, co-workers, decades of friends, new friend Norbert and best buds Toohey, Ken Jr, Ken Sr, and Mr. Bill. Dave's wish is that you turn up the music, put another log on the fire, crack open a brewski, continue to solve world problems from the garage, grill in the moonlight and name your pets after your favorite beverage. Mary and girls would like to extend their heartfelt thanks for all the love and support and greatly appreciate everyone who were able to attend Dave's last garage party. Visitation at 2pm, service at 3pm with time to share stories afterwards on April 13th at Lord of the Lakes Luth Church, 25402 Itasca Ave, Forest Lake, MN 55025. Private interment planned for a later date.

I only had the pleasure of knowing Dave for 4 short years. No non-sense, down to earth kind of guy. Really enjoyed listening to him talk about his family, his cabin and his love for the "up north" lifestyle. Dave counted. He will be missed by so many. Thoughts are with Mary and close family. Godspeed Dave.

Oh Mary, I am so sorry for your loss! Far too young. I'm glad that you found each other at an early age and have maintained a great marriage all these years. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Mary and Girls,
I was absolutely stunned to read this obituary. I know you all are heart broken. Dave was the total nice guy. I enjoyed knowing him and of course all of you. I am so sorry for your loss. I will be there in spirit with you. I am working (tax season) and can't make it to Minnesota or I would be there for sure. He is laughing at us with all the snow and yuck you guys are getting. Love you all

Wishing you peace and comfort. Our hearts break with yours. We are wrapping our arms around you. Our prayers are that you remember the laughter and love, the strength of family to hold you up and that a cure for cancer will be found. God will hold you in the palm of his hand.. ❤ Jackie and Adrian Nowaczewski

I am so sorry for your loss. We had such a nice time at your cabin and the pontoon ride Dave took us on. I thought he was such a kind hearted person.

Peace, Margaret Hylton (Barb's Aunt)

So sorry to hear that Dave has passed. The world as we know it has lost a good man. He loved his lake home and loved to fish. He cared about things that deserved to be cared about. He loved his family first and always. I was inspired by him and will remember him.

We would like to express our condolences to you and your family. There were many fun and happy times at our house in Odessa. We would have liked to have been there for you and your family but we have a funeral for Dan's cousin that same day. You and your family will always be in our thoughts and prayers. God's blessing on you and the family.
