He was baptized at the Faith United Methodist Church in Grand Island and confirmed at the United Methodist Church in Grand Island. He grew up in Grand Island and graduated from Grand Island Northwest, then graduated from the University of Nebraska at Curtis in 1982 with a degree in commercial horticulture.
Dave moved to Hildreth in 1983 and worked at his parent's service station and owned "Dave's Lawn Service" from 1983 until 1987. Dave started substituting as a rural mail carrier in 1987 and then started working full time in 1990. He also worked part time at Fritz's Meat.
Dave was a member of the Hildreth Volunteer Fire Department for 25 years, held several offices and has been fire chief for the last two years. He was also a member of the Franklin Country Club where he has served on the board for 15 years and has been the president for the last 12 years.
Dave was an ambassador to the Tri-City Storm and avid fan since that program began.
He enjoyed spending time with his family and especially the family snowmobiling trips. He loved to hunt and fish and teach his nephews how to hunt and the best places to find the biggest buck.
He liked to watch, play and teach golf. He also played on the Hawgs softball team.
Dave made many friends and memories in all the activities he was involved in. No matter what Dave did he always had fun and made everybody laugh. He collected guns, fire trucks and tractors. A large part of Dave's life was his volunteerism. A memorial fund has been established in his name.
He was preceded in death by his maternal and paternal grandparents.
