David Hess Obituary
Died peacefully surrounded by family, as he wished, in his own home on December 5, 2020. Age 77.
Cherished and supportive husband of Maureen (nee Kuhr) for 45 years. Supportive and warmhearted father of Jacob (Laurie McMahon) Hess, Rebecca (Jason) Parker, Megan Hess (Jamie Eternick), and Alexander Hess (fiancé Brenda Jara). Selfless, caring, beautiful, smart, perfect, and amazing grandpa of Dominique, Mariah, and Drew Parker. Further survived by brothers Robert (Diane) Hess and Thomas Hess. He will also be missed by his brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law, nieces, nephews, and a host of other family and friends.
Preceded in death by granddaughter Gabrielle, his parents George Sr. and Helen, parents-in-law Harry and Dorothy Kuhr, brother George Jr., and sister-in-law Sharon.
A special thanks to the nursing staff in 3 North at St. Luke's, Wendy Moline NP, and his angel CNA Gladys.
Due to his wishes, a small family gathering will be held.
As David would say, love you always.

I had the great opportunity to work along side David for 23 years at the post office I teased him he was my work husband. He was always helpful n caring n took the time when I called for help. We shared laughter n knowledge when we took breaks was in awe when he would read math books. My heart hurts tho the memories live on thankful that our lives crossed paths.

Uncle Dave was one of the best people I know. I am very proud to say that he was my uncle. He was always kind and truly cared about others. He will be greatly missed. I will see you in Heaven someday.

Always friendly and pleasant to talk to and be around. The perfect example of a family man, who someday will be with his family again.

He taught me everything from how to play cribbage to how to swim, showed me all the things I now love, and made me who I am today. He always made sure we knew he was proud of us, no matter how much we felt we had let him down. I promise I will never let him and his kind heart and soul be forgotten. I strive to be anywhere near as kind and as strong as he was. Thank you Grandpa for always picking me up and making me smile on my worst days. I love you more than you could ever know. This isn’t goodbye, just a see you later. Rest easy Grandpa❤
