MUNCIE- David M. Coffman, 84, passed away Wednesday morning, December 17, 2025 at Lincolnshire Place in Muncie.
He was born October 11, 1941, in Muncie, the son of Merrill and Mabel (Arlene) Coffman. David graduated from Muncie Central High School in 1959.
Mr. Coffman grew up on his family's dairy farm and continued farming all of his life. In 1963, he went into business with his brother Charlie and they created Coffman Bros Farms, Inc. in the mid 1970's. David was known as the "farm engineer;" mechanically gifted, he could envision what needed to be created and could begin the work without drawing it out. He also designed and helped build his family's home in 1979.
David served the community in several ways, including the boards for Farm Bureau, Inc., SouthSide Church of the Nazarene, and the Delaware Co Farm Service Agency.
David loved the water - he spent many summers at Lake Cumberland, Kentucky, where he enjoyed boating and water sports with his family and friends. He also enjoyed cruises and traveling around the country.
Mr. Coffman was a proud father and grandfather - forever known for the best dad jokes. He enjoyed watching and supporting his children and grandchildren at their various sporting events.
