1950 - 2025
David Henry Meiners, beloved husband, father, uncle, grandfather, and great-grandfather, passed away peacefully surrounded by his family. He is survived by his devoted wife of 44 years, Carol E. Meiners; brothers, Jim Meiners (Carmon) and John Meiners (Kathleen); step-daughters, Amanda Berg and Jennifer Berg; and his step-son, Shawn Young. He was the proud grandfather of Peyton Berg, Isaiah Davis, Orion Young, and Victoria Young; and cherished great-grandfather to Liam Young.
David served in the Army National Guard and graduated from Washburn University with a bachelor's degree in business administration.
David retired from the University of Kansas in 2015 after years of dedicated service. He was the rock that grounded his family and the steady hand that guided them through life's adventures. His love for playing cards, coffee, his passion for sports, and his unwavering devotion to his family will be forever remembered.
His strength, wisdom, and love created a legacy that will live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved him. He will be deeply missed, but his memory will continue to shine through the lives he touched.
A memorial gathering will be held from 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm Sunday, March 16, 2025 at Rumsey-Yost Funeral Home.
