David Siver Obituary

David Allan Siver, 75, of Mechanicsville, Iowa, passed away on Tuesday, Dec. 20, 2022. A Celebration of Life with burial at White Oak Cemetery is anticipated in the spring. Arrangements are with Stewart Baxter Funeral & Memorial Service, Mount Vernon. Survivors include his wife, Janette; children, Trever (Kristen) Siver, Teressia (Nick) Boren and Susanne (Jim) Zaruba; grandchildren, Caitlyn, Kenzie, Noah, Ivy, Shea, Tess, Hallie and Sydney (Tyler); and siblings, Rita (Steve) Becker and Howard Siver (Beth).

David was born on Nov. 10, 1947, the son of Floyd and Jacqueline (Kinler) Siver. He graduated from Lincoln High School and attended Hawkeye Community College. On Oct. 24, 1976, he married Janette Dlouhy in Mount Vernon. David was a truck driver for many years, but being on the farm was his true passion. He loved farming, fishing and restoring tractors, especially Farmall’s. Being with his family and playing with his grandchildren made him the happiest. David never met a stranger. He enjoyed meeting new people, having conversations and telling lots of stories. He was preceded in death by his parents and father-in-law, Leonard Dlouhy. Memorials may be directed to the family.

Jan and family, was so sorry to read about David's death. Back in the day, we all spent a lot of good years together. I'm so sorry for your loss.

I first met Dave when we became neighbors out at Floyd's farm. Everyone is correct. He always had a smile on his face and a kind word for everyone. I think he was as close to a clone of his dad Floyd of any father and son I have ever seen. May he rest in peace
