With heavy hearts but joyful memories, we announce the passing of David Raymond Hegre, who left us on November 22, 2024, at the age of 63. Dave was born in Arvada, Colorado, on April 19, 1961, a son of the late Raymond and Mary (Connor) Hegre.
Dave was a proud graduate of Hopkins Lindbergh High School (1979) before attending the University of Minnesota. He obtained a bachelor's degree in Economics and had a successful career in sales including VP of Sales at Norstan. In addition to sales and consulting, he was a trusted recruiter and owner of Highland Consulting.
Dave married the love of his life, Elizabeth Larson, the daughter of the late Richard and Jean (McLean) Larson, in 1983 and together they welcomed three children: Justin, Sara and Mitchell. He was a doting grandfather and a loving husband, father, son, brother, uncle, Flyer and friend. Rarely idle, Dave enjoyed time with family, winemaking, remodeling, landscaping and tinkering with odd jobs. An avid athlete from day one, he enjoyed hockey, soccer, golf, snowboarding, biking and kite-surfing.
Dave is survived by his wife of 41 years, Elizabeth Hegre; eldest son, Justin Hegre (wife Michaela and Ella, Jackson, Benjamin, Kate Marjorie); daughter, Sara Puentes (husband Richard and Sofia, Richard); youngest son, Mitchell Hegre; brother, Mike (Charlene); sisters Kathy Wogsland and Patty Walters (Todd); sister-in-law, Karen Hutchings (Tom); and many nieces, nephews and friends. He is preceded in death by his parents; parents-in-law; brother-in-law, Leonard and nephew, Adam.

I only heard about Dave´s passing this week after the service
I first met Dave when we both were hired at the Target in Plymouth
I was a shopper and Dave ended up at produce
We were both part time so we did not see each other all the time
So happy to see each other when we were both there...a friendly face ...talking about things going on in our lives
You don´t always make friends with the people you work with so this was nice
I think our last conversation was about my nephew appearing on The Voice this season ...he was looking forward to seeing some of the show
I will miss him and his smile
Such a shock and I hope you will lean on your family and friends for support

I lived around the corner from Dave, who would walk past my house with his dog. I recall being on a ladder once -and the next thing I knew -he was holding the ladder for me while I finished the job. He also helped me with a furnace problem that I had. That is just the kind of neighbor Dave was. He would show up when you needed help and pitch in without being asked. Dave was much loved in the neighborhood and will be sorely missed.
