Dave married Nancy Brems Johnson in 1973 they were married for 11 years and raised 2 beautiful children Brandy, Jackie and 2 step children lvan and Cheryl. They later divorced and he married Kathy Ball in 1990 they got divorced a short time after.

He loved bowling with Jolley Corkers, golfing, fishing and camping he believed in roughing it, you don't sleep in a trailer you sleep in a tent that was his theory. You would often find him sitting on his patio with his coffee and newspaper he read that paper on a daily basis. Dave loved all sports but going to the UTE games was the best!
