David Lee PeGan, a cherished husband, father, grandfather, uncle, and friend, passed away peacefully on April 24, 2024, in Edwardsburg, Michigan, at the age of 67. Born on January 6, 1957, in Niles, Michigan, to the late Richard and Dorothy (Young) PeGan, David grew up with a deep appreciation for family and hard work.
David, known affectionately as "Dave" by his friends, dedicated most of his life to the road as a trucker, a career that reflected his love for travel and adventure.
He was often found in his garage, where he could often be seen working on a new woodworking project or tuning up some machinery. His passion for mud-bogging, motorcycles, and dune buggies was well-known among his peers, but it was his family that truly captured his heart.
David's love for his family was boundless. He leaves behind his beloved wife, Mary Lou (Moore) PeGan, his devoted daughter, Nicole Marie PeGan of Edwardsburg, seven granddaughters, two grandsons, and the cherished memories of his grandson Jace and son William, both of whom preceded him in death.
Photos, condolences, and memories may be left for David's family at www.BrownFuneralHomeNiles.com
David's family will be remembering him at a later time this year.
Memorial contributions may be made in care of his family or at Brown Funeral Home.
Arrangements have been entrusted to Brown Funeral Home & Cremation Services.
David's legacy is one of unwavering love and generosity. He adored his grandchildren and was always willing to go the extra mile for his family. His presence will be deeply missed, but his spirit will continue to live on through the lives he touched.

I grew up with the entire PeGan family. I knew his mom very well, his sisters Kay and Sue. I did not know his brother very well. We all went to Rosewarne School together.
