David Arlo Obituary
David William Arlo was born on August 26, 1943 in Minneapolis, MN to parents Arthur and Lois (Ziegler) Schwantes. After his education, David became a mechanic and aircraft technician with Northwest Airlines. He also worked as a watchmaker, tinkering and repairing watches.
On May 4, 1963, David married Jeanette Taylor in Minneapolis. He was a man of faith and proud to be a minister with the Jehovah's Witnesses. His life was lived well and he will be dearly missed.
David is survived by his wife of 62 years, Jeanette; sister, Carla Scholtes; nephews, Mason, Tony, and Jesse Scholtes; and niece, Raquel Clagg. He was preceded in death by his parents.
A celebration of David's life will be planned for a future date to be determined.
