David was a graduate of the J.V.S. and Piqua High School, Class of 1981. He proudly served his country in the United States Air Force. He was a longtime, faithful member of St. Boniface Catholic Church. David worked at ITW Hobart Brothers as a Draw Bench Operator and retired after 34 years of hard work and dedication. David was well known in town as a D.J. and enjoyed sharing his love of music with others and being apart of weddings and other events for 25 years. He was a fan of the Chicago Bears, and he enjoyed taking trips to Destin, Florida and Myrtle Beach with his family. David was quick witted and loved to joke around and tell stories, and he had never met a stranger and loved people. Above all else, David was strong in his faith and family was most important to him. He cherished spending time with his grandchildren and attending their sporting or school events.
