David Grant Wille, age 65, of Lowell, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, December 30, 2025, at home with family at his side.
David was born on January 20, 1960, the son of Arnold and Dorothy (Taylor) Wille. On July 15, 1988, he was united in marriage to Yvonne McRae in Jefferson County, Wisconsin. He was a devoted employee at Lake Shore Burial Vault Company, where he worked for 14 years and found fulfillment in his career. Dave was a man who took pleasure in the simple joys of life. His caring nature left an impact on all who had the privilege of knowing him. He cherished working outdoors, whether it was taking on projects in his yard or riding his motorcycle, enjoying the fresh air and the freedom it brought. He had a special fondness for classic rock music, which often accompanied him during his peaceful moments lifting weights. A devoted fan of the Green Bay Packers, Dave frequently found himself relaxing and cheering for his team. He enjoyed winding down, watching game shows and magic shows, which brought him laughter and joy during his leisure time. Dave will be remembered for his gentle spirit and the love he shared with those around him.
Dave is survived by his loving wife, Yvonne Wille; sons, Davon (Brittany White) Wille and Colton Wille; and brother, Dale (Vicky) Wille. He is further survived by nieces, other relatives and friends.
He was preceded in death by his son, Aaron Wille; parents; sister, Cheryl Wille; nephews, Josh Wille and Derek Stewart and niece, Kristi Stewart.
