David Alan Rosenstiel, 70, of Erlanger, Kentucky, passed away on March 26, 2026.

Born on July 6, 1955, in Lima, Ohio, David was known for his raucous sense of humor and deep devotion to Jesus Christ. He spent many years working in sales for McSwain Carpets in Florence, Kentucky, and found great joy in time spent with his extended family.

David is survived by his siblings, Patti (Rick) Brown and Jeff (Carolyn) Rosenstiel; his nieces and nephews, Jami Couzins, Stacia Burns, Matthew (Amanda) Ballenger, Mark Ballenger, Sam (Lindsey) Rosenstiel, Ben Rosenstiel, and Ava Rosenstiel; his grandnieces and grandnephews, Spencer Couzins, Luke Couzins, Abby Burns, and Hunter Ballenger; as well as many cousins and friends. He is also survived by Tim Roberts, the son of his longtime girlfriend, Dawn Roberts. He was preceded in death by his sister, Brenda (Preston) Tummons; his parents, Ernest (Patricia) Rosenstiel and Lucille (Richard) Gullett.

The family will hold a private service to honor and celebrate his memory. In lieu of flowers, they request prayers of healing for those who may struggle with trauma.
