David Lee Dresher

David Lee Dresher, born July 30, 1954, passed away peacefully surrounded by loved ones on August 25, 2025 at the age of 71. Born in California, David moved with his family to Owasso, OK at just six months old, where he lived throughout his childhood years. He was known for his athletic ability and played baseball and football for the Owasso Rams, graduating in 1972. On December 24, 1973, David married Kathy, with whom he shared 52 wonderful years.

David and Kathy built their life together in several Oklahoma cities through the years, where they raised their two daughters, Amanda Johnson and Kimberly Penn. David retired from Petra Industries in 2005. Shortly after retirement, David and Kathy moved to Denton, TX to be closer to family as they welcomed their first grandchild.
