David was an outdoors man through and through. He loved to hunt, fish, and cut his own wood to heat his home. He has always owned some type of John Deer and would enjoy pulling the family through the woods on a hay ride in the fall. He loved spending time with his family and friends at his cottage on Gun Lake and entertaining us all with his tunes, drinks, and a pontoon boat ride. He was a member of the American Legion - Post 28 where he had made a lot of friends and enjoyed talking about whatever while enjoying a cold one. He was definitely a family man and his family was the most important to him. He was a vending machine mechanic for a good portion of his life while raising his 5 children and later retired to be an entrepreneur of DSB Services where he built and delivered pallets for around 15 years. He was always busy and enjoyed life to its fullest.
