David Eugene Gill

David Eugene Gill was born June 4th, 1959 in St. Joseph MO and passed away at 65 years of age. He resided in Stewartsville, MO his entire life. He worked briefly for the Chase Candy Company and for the Stetson Hat Company, both in St. Joseph, MO. However, he spent most of his life as a self-taught computer technician and electronic repairman. Many people in the community relied on him to help with their technical issues. Although he never married or had children of his own, he was a beloved uncle to his nephews and nieces. Much of his life was dedicated to taking care of his mother and father as they aged in life. He was a large part of the Gill and Cline families, and will be missed by the rest of us whom he leaves behind. David loved to spend time outside working the garden that he and his mother planted every year. They spent several hours canning the vegetables and freezing the corn the garden produced, as well as making jams, jellies and sweet pickles. He was a dedicated son to his parents, a wonderful uncle to his closest nephews and a great friend to several others. Each year he looked forward to celebrating the Fourth of July with a large fireworks display launched from his own pasture. David attended and was baptized in the Stewartsville Baptist Church early in life. He never lost his faith which in fact became stronger as he grew older. There was no doubt in his mind where he stood with God and Christ as he prepared himself to pass from this world into the next and after fighting cancer for years, he was ready to move on. David was preceded in death by his father, Donald Lee Gill, Sr, brother Donald Lee Gill, Jr and several relatives. He is survived by his mother Betty Gill, brothers Doug (Diana), Daryl (Stephanie), Bruce (Judy) and Scott (Elora) Gill and many relatives and friends.
