He was baptized on January 28, 1962 at Zion Lutheran Church in Plainview and confirmed in 1976 at Trinity Lutheran Church in Hartington.

Most recently he was employed at Omaha Steaks until the time of his death. Dave enjoyed spending time with his family and especially his grandchildren. He was an avid Husker fan.
