David Service
April 19, 2021
David L Service, age 78, of Norwalk, passed away peacefully Monday, April 19, 2021, at Fisher-Titus Medical Center surrounded by his family.
Dave was born on May 27, 1942, in Norwalk, Ohio. He graduated from Norwalk High School, class of 1960, then proudly served his country in the United States Navy. A few years later, he married the love of his life and best friend, Joan (Plue) Service. Lifelong residents of Norwalk, they had two boys, Jeff and Jim. Dave worked as a cutter and retired from Norwalk Furniture. He was a member of St. Paul’s Catholic Church and the Norwalk Eagles.
More than anything else Dave loved spending time with his family. He enjoyed camping and coaching baseball when his boys were young…then watching his sons and grandsons play their sports over the years. He was a die-hard Cleveland sports fan and loved watching the Browns and Indians. He was an avid bowler and enjoyed bowling in leagues for many years. He also loved to play chess…especially with his brother-in-law, Randy Herner. Above all, his favorite pastime was sitting on the front porch with Joni.
Dave was kind, caring, and funny. He lived for his family. He was a good man and will be deeply missed.
He is survived by his wife of 53 years, Joan (Plue) Service; children Jeff (Steffani) Service and James (Carrie) Service; grandchildren Zachary, Hayden, Colton, Brody, and Corbin Service. He is also survived by his brother Charles (Dianne) Service. Dave had a large family that admired and loved him and will miss him greatly.
He is preceded in death by his parents George and Ivon (Bixby) Service, as well as numerous brothers and sisters-in-law.
A celebration of life gathering will be held 1:00 – 3:00 P.M. Sunday, August 1, 2021 at the Norwalk American Legion Post 41, 1544 State Route 20 West, Norwalk.
Memorial contributions may be made to The Huron County Humane Society. Arrangements entrusted to Evans Funeral Home, 314 E. Main Street, Norwalk.
