David John Rummell

On February 20, 2026, surrounded by his loving family, David Rummel joined his heavenly family. He was born in Pigeon on November 5, 1952, to Erma (Kilgus) and Carl Rummel.

In 1984, David met the person that would be the love of his life, Susan Marker, and they were married in 1987.

He was an avid duck hunter, rarely ever missing an opening day. David was also a devoted fisherman and held several offices in the Michigan Steelhead and Salmon Fishermen's Association both state and local chapter.

David is survived by his wife, Susan Rummel; brothers, Dan (Jerri) Rummel and Derek (Lynn) Rummel; sister Amy (Jim) Wojciechowski; as well as many nieces, nephews, great, and great-great nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents, Erma and Carl Rummel.
