David Lang Tennant, 71, of Casco, passed away peacefully at home on Thursday, August 28, 2025, with his family by his side. He was born October 28, 1953, in Detroit to the late John and Patricia (nee Skotcher) Tennant. David married Lynne Peters on May 28, 1977, at St. Raymond Catholic Church in Detroit.
Dave enjoyed watching hydroplane races on the Detroit River. His favorite cars were Buick and loved seeing a classic wood Chris Craft on the water. He had a great love for music as well. Dave was the life of the party. He was a people person and no matter where he went, he ran into someone he knew.
