David Ellingson Obituary
A graduate of Robbinsdale High School and the Vera-Duayne School of Hair Design, David was a lifelong entrepreneur who built nightclubs, salons, apartments and auto body shops, as well as publishing ventures in Minnesota, South Dakota, Wisconsin, and California. He was known as a brilliant businessman, a creative out-of-the-box thinker, with a carefree renegade spirit.
David was married three times and shared his greatest adventures with his wife Teresa Gallegos, whom he wed in 1995 and lovingly cared for until her passing in 2016.
He is survived by his sister Diane Hoover Mastro, brother Wayne Ellingson, and son David Michael Ellingson.
A celebration of David's life will be announced by the family.
