Age 66 of Rosemount.

Passed away peacefully, surrounded by family on May 19, 2026. Preceded in death by parents, Elmer & Carol; sister, Nancy. Survived by daughter, Rose (Ryan); step-children, Kristin (Nicholas) & Anthony; step-grandson, Atlas; siblings, Cathy (Dave), Greg, Diana (Ken) & John (Sherry); and many other family & friends.

A man of profound faith and integrity, David lived his life as a proud and loving servant and father. His legacy of protection began after high school as a Military Police Officer, followed by a distinguished 28-year career as an officer and Sergeant with the Richfield Police Department. His dedication to marksmanship remained a favorite retirement hobby. David also channeled his passion for service into his church, serving as a member-at-large at Our Savior Lutheran Church and volunteering for countless events.

David’s heart belonged to his family. He deeply valued nature and God’s creation, finding peace camping on trips to Alaska with his daughter, and in the Boundary Waters with family and friends. At home, he loved gardening and meticulously decorating the house to make the holidays magical. He took his beloved dog and “best bud,” Scout, on daily walks, cherishing that time to quiet life’s noise and count his blessings. Afterward, he loved relaxing on his deck with a cold beer and talk radio, Scout by his side. A loyal Minnesota sports fanatic, he faithfully cheered the Twins on for a championship every year.

When faced with a terminal brain cancer diagnosis in October 2022, David’s response was an ode to who he was. Throughout his 3.5-year journey, he became the most faithful and optimistic he had ever been, defying his original prognosis by 2.5 years. He filled those years with pure joy, fulfilling his dream of walking his daughter, Rose, down the aisle and holding his first grandchild, Atlas. His family will forever cherish this extra time and the faithful example he set.

Memorial Service will be held at 11:00 am on Saturday, June 20th at Lutheran Church of Our Savior, 14980 Diamond Path W., Rosemount, MN with visitation 1-hour prior at church. A luncheon will follow. Interment at Emanuel Lutheran Church Cemetery, Inver Grove Heights at 2:15 pm.
