David Durnbaugh Obituary
David (aka Dave, D, Quinn, mon, pops, dork, captain, Davey, bud) led a full life. He racked up 16 speeding tickets the year he turned 16. He joined the army out of high school and could tell a tale or two about his time in Korea. He met his wife at the University of Michigan. They didn't quite make it to their 50 anniversary, but boy did they have some good times. He had a strong work ethic and worked in banking, meat-packing, tech support, and even did a brief stint for the USPS. He provided lovingly for his family. Dogs have been named after him! He once got a perm! He thoroughly enjoyed sports, fishing, his daily crossword puzzles, James Bond movies, wood-working, motorcycles, photography and ruthlessly teasing his kids.
Dave is survived by loving wife Mary, sister Nancy, daughter Maria (Matthew), son Elijah, and 3 grandchildren he adored. A celebration of life will be delayed until spring, contact Maria or the funeral home for details. Donations can be made in his honor to the National Audubon Society: www.audubon.org
Memorial and cremation services are entrusted to the O'Connell Family Funeral Home of River Falls, www.oconnellfuneralhomes.com, 715-425-5644

I will miss Dave dearly. My condolences to Mary, Maria, and Eli. Having worked with Dave at 3 different jobs and watching each other's kids grow up, we've shared a lot together and had a lot of fun while doing it. Say, "Hi" to Don for me my friend. Until I see you again.
