David B. Mathews, age 75, of Dewitt, MI, lost his brave battle with cancer and passed away peacefully at home May 8, 2021. He was born March 24, 1946, in Lansing. Dave graduated from Sexton High School in 1964 and proudly served in the Marine Corps for six years. He retired from Fisher Body after 35 years of service, ending his career in future products.

In later years they took numerous cruises traveling throughout the world, which he thoroughly enjoyed. Dave was a car enthusiast. He also enjoyed learning the latest technology, engaging in lively discussions, and having a beer with friends. Prior to COVID Dave enjoyed meeting "the old guys" at the DeWitt McDonald's and was grateful for their friendship and camaraderie.
