David Fenner Obituary
His family wrote, "God blessed him to have all of his children around him when he died."
Born Dec. 31, 1939, in South Dakota, he had lived in Anchorage from 1972 until 1993.
His father and mother, Donald and Jewel Fenner, preceded him in death.
David had five children: Paula Decuffa of California; Mark, Martin and David Fenner of Reno, and Michael Fenner of Las Vegas, Nev.; eight grandchildren and three great grandchildren. He is also survived by his sister, Carolyn Bunnell; brothers, Johnny Fenner of Wasilla, Tommy Fenner of Willow, Stanley Fenner of Anchorage, and Danny and Kirk Fenner of Rapid City, S.D.; three aunts and one uncle; and a large number of nieces and nephews.
There will be a private memorial for family in the Reno area and a private graveside burial in South Dakota, as weather permits.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the Elm Springs Community Cemetery, 21406 Linn Road, Elm Springs, S.D., 57791.
Arrangements are with Infinity Burial and Cremation of Reno.

One minute they are there!
The next they are not!
So don't be afraid to be there for them.
Even when they are not.
Spread your love.
Threw and threw.
Cause you never know.
When they'll be threw.
So saver every moment with them.
Or you just might never be true.
Just take this from me.
Cause I didn't know what to do.
But I wised up and saw him yesterday.
I relized it was the best thing to do.
And when I saw him I didn't know what to say.
So tell your friends you love them each and everyday.
Because never know when it will be the day.
Could be tommorrow or even the next day.
So don't be a stranger is what I'm trying to stay.
Be apart of there lifes.
Like it was there last day.
To my family and friends and my Dad.

I have been blessed with a wonderful family, I shared my father's last days with all of us children together around him. He was very happy and peaceful. My father enjoyed life and love. He accepted the Lord into his heart and was ready to meet with Jesus. God Bless him.
His loving daughter
