Dave was born on February 23, 1953 in Akron, OH. He graduated from Asbury University in 1974. He retired from TOR Construction with over twenty-five years of service making many friends there and in the trades.

Dave was a very active man who loved fishing, enjoyed hunting, and was an avid reader. Family was extremely important to him and he would return home to Ohio frequently. Dave was an outgoing person who enjoyed interacting and socializing with his many friends, whom he valued highly. When he became unable to see them in person he continued to maintain close contact through phone conversations.

His family and friends will always remember him as a very strong, hard-working, generous person and he will be deeply missed

A private memorial service will be held at the family’s convenience due to COVID-19 restrictions.

The family would like to thank the LVAD physicians, coordinators, nurses, and entire staff at Advocate Christ Medical Center for their compassion and care over these last four years.
