David held various roles throughout his career, starting at Pizza Hut, managing True Value Hardware, owning Sensible Solutions and then continued doing maintenance for Heritage Property Management in Cedar Rapids. He was a proud supporter of the Jefferson J-Hawks. Known for his gift of conversation and remarkable memory for names, David had a way of making everyone feel valued.
