David Erik Bielinski, 54, passed away on June 24, 2025, in Lake Havasu City , Arizona. Born March 9th, 1971, Dave grew up loving anything with wheels and engines, he had a talent with customizing and modifying every vehicle he owned.

David is survived by his son, Mason Pasniak, grandson, Woodson; his mother Suzanne C Bielinski; sister Ann Bielinski (John Bell), nieces Ari Bielinski-Bell and Julianna Urbaniak (Magda Urbaniak). Proceeded in death by his father, Harry Bielinski and brother, Giorgio Bielinski. Further survived by many friends and family who will miss him deeply.

At 18, Dave moved to Vail, Colorado to operate snowcats in the mountains at Vail Ski Resort. When opportunity arose, he moved back to Wisconsin to work with his father at Bielinski Homes. While living on Eagle Spring Lake he grew a love for the water and boating.

Always looking for the next adventure, he ended up moving back to Colorado and then Wyoming and grew a love for rock crawling and worked at TNT Customs.

Later he landed in Lake Havasu City and found a place where he could go boating and drive the desert trails with his UTV.

Dave lived his life fully. He loved spending time with Mason, and recently was able to connect with his grandson, Woodson. He enjoyed entertaining, by singing and playing the harmonica with various bands. Often showing up in costume to show his patriotism or to simply provide a good laugh.

He is now free from pain and suffering. May he rest with our Lord.
