He joined the Scott Township Fire Department at the age of 21 and served on the fire department for 45 years where he served as the Deputy Chief for the Vanderburgh County Fire Department. David began his working career at Nussmeier Engraving and most recently worked as an industrial firefighter for Alcoa, now Kaiser Aluminum. Throughout his career, David exemplified professionalism, leadership, and an unwavering commitment to protecting others.

Outside of work, David had many hobbies and interests. Above all, David adored his family and was the ultimate girl dad. David took an active role in all of his daughter's activities from coaching to 4-H, instilling in them a sense of independence. He cherished being a grandpa and spending time with his grandsons. He loved the outdoors, especially hiking, fishing, and golfing. David also competed-in, and won, several firefighter combat challenges throughout the country. David was an excellent cook, woodworker, and an avid IU and Colts fan. David was the epitome of a loving husband, father, grandfather, son, and friend. He will be deeply missed.
