He worked for Philips Kiln in South Sioux City, NE as a “Kiln Doctor” (welder). David was a hard worker and well thought of by his co-workers.
On June 27, 2012 David professed his faith, was welcomed into the Catholic Church, and received the Sacraments of Reconciliation, Confirmation, Eucharist and Anointing with his family by his side.
He was very proud to be a part of his sister’s baptism on that same day. He stated later that night, “It was a beautiful day.”
David loved spending time with his family and friends. He loved the outdoors, fishing, swimming, golfing, riding his Harley.
He enjoyed sitting around having a “Bud” with his Buds watching the Stanley Cup, the Vikings, Nascar, and his DVD concerts.
