David graduated from Grand Rapids Christian High before earning his bachelor's degree from Calvin College. He dedicated his career as a chemist with Rose Patch & Label and Guardsman Products, retiring in 1996. A faithful servant, he served for many years as an elder at Blythefield Christian Reformed Church and he was a devoted member of Faith Reformed Church for 27 years.
Following retirement, he and his beloved wife, Sally, built their dream home on Silver Lake near Traverse City, where they enjoyed many happy years together. He found great joy in fishing, tending his flower and vegetable gardens, traveling the world, and taking memorable European cruises. Their home became a treasured gathering place, welcoming family each summer to create lasting memories. In 2023, he and Sally moved to Breton Woods to be closer to their family. He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.
