He graduated from Premontre High School in 1957 and later earned an associate's degree in Fire Science from NWTC. Dave dedicated 27 years of service to the Green Bay Fire Department, retiring in 1992 as Staff Commander in charge of the Training Bureau.

A lifelong commitment to service extended well beyond his career. Dave generously volunteered his time and talents with numerous organizations, including Muscular Dystrophy, the Boy Scouts, Weidner Center, Green Bay Botanical Gardens, The Clearing Folk School, and the Ridges Sanctuary. He had a green thumb and enduring fascination with the natural world. Dave was an avid reader and enjoyed learning, working with his hands, and helping others discover something new. He was always at ease working on a dry stacked rock wall project or teaching a fossil class. Dave was a lifelong Packer fan, acquiring season tickets in 1958. He and his wife Marge were survivors of the 1967 Ice Bowl.

On October 7, 1967, Dave married Marge VandenHeuvel, beginning a devoted marriage spanning 59 years and building a life filled with family, friendships, community involvement, and countless memories.

Dave will be remembered for his dedication to his community, his love of nature, his willingness to share his knowledge and the many friendships he formed throughout his life. His generous spirit, quiet determination and passion for helping others left a lasting impression on all who had the pleasure of knowing him. He leaves behind a legacy of service, craftsmanship, and a life well lived.
