David Stetner Obituary
David was the proud owner and operator of Stetner Auto Body, a collision repair shop located in Lake City. Through years of dedication to his craft and commitment to quality service, he earned the trust and respect of customers and colleagues alike. His shop became more than just a place of business-it was a cornerstone of the community where stories were shared and friendships formed.
Those who knew David will remember him for his quick wit and infectious laughter. His sense of humor could light up any room, offering comfort during difficult times and joy during everyday moments. Whether sharing a joke or lending a helping hand, David had a way of making people feel seen and appreciated.
Though he is no longer with us, David's memory lives on in the lives he touched through his work and his warmth. May his memory bring comfort to those who knew him.

Dave and the Stetner family were customers of mine for over 30 years but Dave was also a friend. He will be missed dearly. My heart goes out to Kurt, Kathy, Joey and to all that knew and loved him. Rest easy Dave!!!
