Born in Potsdam, NY on June 17, 1960 as one of fifteen children to the late Phillip and Eleanor (Deon) Monroe, Dave attended St. Lawrence Central High School and married Tammy L. Koen on July 19, 2003. Dave worked as an Electrical Supervisor for Triad Electric in Baton Rouge, LA for over 25 years, retiring in 2021. He was a member of the Norfolk Rod and Gun Club and in his spare time, he enjoyed watching westerns and game shows, hunting, and had a love for old cars- especially his Ford mustang, but found his most enjoyment came from spending time with his family and friends, especially his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He always put his family first. Memorial Donations in Dave's memory can be made to Norfolk Volunteer Rescue Squad. Memories and condolences may be shared online at www.buckfuneralhome.com.
