David Bussing Obituary
Following his military retirement, David spent the second part of his career dedicated to working with metal at D. Russett Company, where he took great pride in his craft. He was also a regular golfer at Hunter Golf Course, where he volunteered his time and found great joy in the community. In addition to his time on the course, David dedicated himself to serving others - regularly volunteering to bring meals and basic necessities to homeless veterans, always ensuring they were cared for and never forgotten.
David was a genuine man who cared deeply for others. He was a dedicated father who would do anything he could to provide the best life for his family, and his love, generosity, and selflessness left a lasting impression on all who knew him.
He is survived by his wife, Michelle Leech; daughter and son-in-law, Brandy and Patrick Dennis; and two grandsons, Jack Dennis and James Dennis. He is also survived by his father, James Lewis Bussing; four brothers, Ron Persson, Rick Bussing, Ken Johnson, and Dan Bussing; foster brother, Ed John Tollard; and three half-sisters, Lynn Weishaar, Billie Walters, and Leona Benson. He also leaves behind the Leech family. He is lovingly remembered by his daughter's mother and stepfather, Kathy and Chuck Spencer, who cared for him deeply.
David was preceded in death by his stepson, Tyler Sommers.
A visitation will be from 2:00 p.m. until 4:00 p.m. on Sunday, June 22nd, at Fox & Weeks Hodgson Chapel. A graveside service will be held with military honor at 11:00 a.m. at Beaufort National Cemetery, 601 Boundary Avenue, Beaufort, SC, 29902.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to VFW Post 660 in Savannah, GA, or to Adaptive Golf Experience at The Legends of Parris Island.https://adaptivegolfexperience.org/
