Davey E. Brenneman, 81, of Upland, passed away at 10:38 am on Tuesday, September 16, 2025, in his home surrounded by his loving family. He was born in Marion, Indiana, on Monday, January 3, 1944, to Arlo and Madge (Caudill) Brenneman. On January 23, 2004, he married Faith Henderson, who survives.

Dave attended Marion High School and enlisted in the United States Army where he was a part of the long-range reconnaissance patrol. He took great pride in this training as a paratrooper. He achieved the rank of Private First Class and was honorably discharged just prior to the start of the Vietnam War. After military service, Dave graduated from Indiana Wesleyan University and dedicated his time to being a Licensed Social Worker. He retired from Archer Consultation Services in 2006. In addition to being a faithful member of Center Chapel Church in Marion, Dave met with a group named The Filling Station in Upland where he deepened his roots in praise and worship. Dave owned Pop Dave's Fudge which later grew into Pop Dave's Pies. Dave was a great outdoorsman who loved fishing and hunting. More than anything, Dave loved God and loved sharing his testimony and leading others to the saving power of Jesus Christ. He will be missed dearly.
