David Dc Obituary
1948 - 2020
Resident of San Jose
Dr. David Hoewisch passed away unexpectedly November 24, 2020, in San Jose, CA. He is survived by his wife of 41 years, Kay Kundinger, and his children, Ethan (Ginger Wu) and Megan (Matthew Erdel), and his sister Judy (Clayton Larson).
Born in Milwaukee to Louise Behrendt and Werner Hoewisch, Dave graduated from Carroll College, (Sigma Phi Epsilon), Waukesha, WI, and traveled the world selling encyclopedias before attending Palmer College of Chiropractic, Davenport, IA. He served thousands of families at his office in Santa Clara, CA, which opened in 1984, and was particularly honored to provide care to the deaf and hard-of-hearing community, having learned sign language from his deaf parents.
Dave was kind, chivalrous, funny and also generous with his time and resources, supporting CA School for the Deaf, Second Harvest, Sierra Club, Adopt-A-Family holiday programs, and many others. He also cleaned up litter, supported the CA Chiropractic Association on many levels, was a life-long blood donor, and would be proud to know his wishes to be an organ donor were fulfilled.
Climbing mountains. Running races of all kinds, including marathons. Hunting for abalone while camping in the redwoods. That was Dave. Proud of his family, his heritage, his profession, his friendships going all the way back to grade school. That was Dave. Cherished and missed by many. Rest in peace.

Wow, I just found out about Dave's passing. Quite a shock. I feel for Kay and his kids. Dave was a kind and generous man, without a mean bone in his body. He was a great chiropractor as well. He was my chiropractor and my friend for many years. It breaks my heart to hear of this. I am so sorry, Kay. :-(

We were very sad to hear about the sudden passing of Dr. Hoewisch. He was a kind, energetic and helpful colleague in the Chiropractic profession and will surely be missed by his patients and fellow doctors. It was a pleasure to know him for these many years and we send our thoughts and prayers to his family.

David was truly a 'stand out type' personality. Truly knew how to connect with everyone he encountered. Also sharing his faith in his Lord and Saviour. He set a wonderful example of what it means to be a child of God. May all of you find comfort in knowing God's arms are protecting you also during this loss
