David loved life even to the end when he was so ill. You never heard him complain. He was born in Waverly, Mo.
After high school, he volunteered for the draft and was sent to Vietnam. When his tour was over, he was stationed at Fort Lewis where he met his wife, Linda. He wanted everyone to know we celebrated our 55th anniversary in April.
Dave loved music, fishing, and our precious family. He loved going to the casino, it was one of the last things he had fun at. He would make sure we attended church every Sunday.
Dave was proceeded in death by his parents, sister and brother. They should be singing in the Lords choir, as they were all so talented. He is survived by his wife Linda, daughter DeAnna (Steven), son Mike (Tavy), three grandchildren Meghan (Kevin), Derek, Shane and great granddaughter Brynlee. He always felt our family was his greatest accomplishment.
