David Alan "Zuk" Isaacson, 76, of Crookston, MN, passed away peacefully on Jun 2, 2025, at the Villa St Vincent in Crookston, MN. He was born on July 11, 1948, in Crookston to Adolf and Dolores (Melbye) Isaacson. He attended Central High School in Crookston, then joined the Army for 2 years. After serving our nation he returned to Crookston and graduated from the University of Minnesota, Crookston. He married Bonnie Berglund in 1974, and they made their home in Crookston where he worked for Burlington North Railroad for 28 years.
Zuk had many pleasures in life, beyond the deep love he had for his family and friends, was bringing joy to others through laughter. He had a gift for storytelling, always ready with a quick wit and a great tale that could light up any room. He also had a lifelong passion for music, especially the Rolling Stones, whose songs became the soundtrack to many cherished memories. He loved to tell the story of seeing them live five times, including while he was stationed in Germany during his time in the Army. Zuk had a huge passion for fishing at Lake of the Woods and cheering on all of Minnesota's sports teams, even though they found new ways to disappoint him each year. He did, however, proudly witness the Twins win two World Series championships-proof that miracles do happen.
He is preceded in death by his parents, Adolf and Dolores Isaacson, grandparents, nephew, cousins, and in-laws.
Zuk is survived by his loving wife, Bonnie; three great children, Scott (Jen) Isaacson, Bryon Isaacson, and Jenny Isaacson Sloan (Daniel); five grandchildren, Zoe, Jayde, Kali, Tyler and Bennett whom he loved very much; brothers-in-law, John (Claudia) Berglund, Mike (Mary Elizabeth) Berglund; sisters-in-law, Mary Lynn Johnson, Sandi (Mike) Sullivan, Cindy (Steve) Marple; aunt, Donna Beiseker and many nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.
His family will celebrate his life with a memorial service on Tuesday June 10, 2025, at 2:00 from the chapel at Stenshoel-Houske Funeral Home. Visitation will begin at 1:00pm. Interment will be held in Oakdale Cemetery. Following the service, the family will host a reception at the Eagles Club in Crookston.
