David Aspenson Obituary

David F. Aspenson

WAUSAU - David F. Aspenson, 70, of Wausau, passed away peacefully at home on October 27 with his loving wife, Cheryl, by his side after a 9-year battle with multiple myeloma and amyloidosis.

David was born to Everett and Charmaine (Goettel) Aspenson on December 20, 1952 in Viroqua, Wisconsin.

An avid listener, he loved conversing with all people, including those he met through his work in sales.

David loved the outdoors, the quiet magic of a warm summer night in northern Wisconsin, trips to the Southwest, and old houses. He also enjoyed cycling and the freedom it brought him.

He was immensely proud of his grandchildren and relished visiting and talking with them, always giving his full attention and making them feel heard and understood, a trait that was perhaps his most memorable gift to this world. His kind spirit lives on through them.

David is survived by his wife, Cheryl; children: Angela (Troy) Miller, Kimberlee (Satish) Mathan, and Nathan (Sandra) Aspenson; stepdaughter, Lauren Henkelman (Matt Clawson); and adoring grandchildren: Wesley, Gavin, Elena, Isabella, Evan, Zach, Maisie, and Max.

He was preceded in death by his parents and his brother, Dennis Aspenson.

If desired, memorials may be directed to your local humane society. A celebration of David's life will be held at a later date.

Mid Wisconsin Cremation Society is assisting family at this time. Online condolences may be expressed at MWCS.WS
