David Riker Obituary

David Ellis Adams Riker
David E.A.Riker, CLU, 7/17/32-2/25/21, passed away peacefully while holding the hand of his loving wife of 26 years, Lynne Baldwin.
His first wife Priscilla, pre-deceased him in 1992. He is survived by his beloved children, Edwina Brennalt & Daphne (Kevin Hagan); grandchildren Eric, Lynn, Kyle, & Jenny; great granddaughter Josefine; stepson Christian Vellenga; & his dog Bonito.
David belonged to SAR & Pundits. He was on the Vetsville board. David was a brilliant, generous, kind & loving man. We will miss his wonderful hearty laugh, engaging smile & happy disposition. Sadly, he had Alzheimer's, but retained his witty charm almost to the end.
David founded D.E.A.R. Financial Serv. He enjoyed friends, family, lectures, karaoke & golf. He was always available to help people.
Pastor Sheila Guillaume will officiate a memorial at Lynne's LW home Thurs 3/25/21 at 3pm. Please call, text or email Lynne to get directions & reserve a seat outside for social distancing.
