Dave attended Walled Lake Central High School, graduating in 1979. He went on to Lawrence Institute of Technology, earning degrees in Mechanical Engineering and Business Administration. His career in logistics and manufacturing spanned nearly 40 years, working for Leaseway Transportation, Sigma Stamping, and Hatch Stamping, where he rose to General Manager of four tooling and manufacturing facilities. Dave’s thoughtful, sweet, and wise words will continue to guide the many family and friends who loved him and relied on him as their rock. Decades of memories will forever be celebrated including things Dave loved: watching sports and listening to music in the garage; restoring cars; the outdoors; making jewelry and pottery; making mixtapes; being on the lake; neighborhood gatherings at the bonfire; and having a good time with his family and friends. Dave joins his buddy Jim (Gutierrez), his grandparents Thelma and Harold (Jordan), his grandparents Mary and James (Papp), and his nephew Randy (Shaner). An outdoor celebration of his life will be held on his birthday on July 2nd.
