Most of his adult life was spent working for Wick Building Systems until 2012 when they closed. On weekends, he would fix his uncle's farm equipment. After Wick Building Systems, he worked at ODC before retirement.

David was a proud member of the National Guard from 1966 until 1972. He worked at the riots in Madison during the Vietnam War.

David enjoyed old farming implements, taking pictures, making multiple copies of any article he found interesting, investing in stocks and driving around town.

He is survived by wife Patricia and his two children, Jonathon and Kristalena. He is also survived by a brother Danyl (Carol) Herman in Michigan.

He was preceded in death by his father, Raymond, his mother Germaine (Toots), numerous aunts, uncles and cousins.
