David Rexroat Obituary

David Rexroat
April 25, 1955
David Charles Rexroat, 69, passed away on April 25, 2024. David was born to Charles and Mary (Boyer) Rexroat on April 25, 1955, and was a graduate of Salem High School Class of 1973 and Hanover College Class of 1977. David spent his most formative years living in Indiana, excelling as an athlete in his youth. As an adult he resided in various states including Kentucky, Florida, and Connecticut, working for various companies, including Kimball, Tempo Designs, Macy's, and most recently Goodwill Industries, prior to his retirement.
He is survived by the mother of his children, Kristine Muller, his daughters, Amy Pellino and Megan Rexroat, and their husbands Nick Pellino and CJ Barrett. He also leaves behind his sisters Nina Rexroat and Joni Erwin, his brother-in-law Steve Erwin, as well as two nieces and a nephew. Most importantly, David will be greatly missed by his beloved Irish Setter, Katie.
In addition to his parents, David is predeceased by his brother Keith Rexroat, as well as countless pets whom he loved dearly, especially his Irish Setters.
His family finds solace in their cherished memories of David, and hope that those who will miss him can eventually find the same sense of peace.
The family extends their gratitude to those who treated David in his final days, especially to the nurses at Baptist Medical Center Floyd in New Albany, Indiana. Their kindness added light to a dark situation.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks donations in David's memory be made to the Washington County Humane Society, 204 W Joseph St., Salem, IN 47167.
Burial will be private and at the convenience of the family.

Joni and Nina and the Rexroat family. I just learned of Dave´s passing. I thought the world of him and am so sorry for your loss. He was a dear friend and enjoyed our days at Hanover and getting together with him in the summers. My best to all of you.

Rest easy, my friend. You gave a young stupid kid a chance and were an excellent teacher. Thank you for your years of hard work and constant drive to excel. You´ve been a true friend, for decades.
