He was drafted into the Army after high school. After returning home from the military he earned an Associate Degree for computers. He loved working on computers, custom building them from scratch.

Dave was a homebody, but loved having family and friends over for a visit.

So sorry he had to go through what he did. Dave was a wonderful father to our son and husband to Karen. I am so glad Steven and family had so much time with him and to support him. Praying for peace for his family and friends. He and Karen came to my father’s funeral and he was so kind and I appreciate them so much for coming. The Huettls will always be family to me. RIP Dave.
