He was born in Madison, Wisconsin on April 11, 1940.

Dave graduated from Clarion High school and quickly established himself as a farmer in the area.

Dave worked as a Farmer for much of his life.

He had many passions, among them piloting planes, traveling the world with Sharon and sometimes family members, being a hobbyist blacksmith and gardener. Dave made his community a better place through his volunteer work at the Boys and Girls club, helping develop the Oakridge Golf course and many hours spent getting to know people and helping where he could. All this with a positive attitude and a smile.

In retirement, one of his favorite volunteer activities was helping at the Daley Mansion in Hamilton, Montana. Many happy hours were spent making the grounds beautiful. He also spearheaded a butterfly garden there in tribute to his mom, Ethel.

He is survived by his wife, Sharon Wilson, daughters Suzanne McLaughlin and Michelle Murray, grandson, Matthew McLaughlin and brothers, Richard Wilson and Tom Wilson.
