David William Seefeld, 53, passed away at his home in Spokane, Washington, on Monday December 20, 2010. Born in Milwaukee on June 12, 1957, the son of Kenneth and Shirley Seefeld, David grew up in Oshkosh and graduated from Oshkosh North High School. In 1979 he graduated Cum Laude from St. Olaf College in Northfield, Minnesota with a BA in Sports Medicine and later earned a second degree from the University of Minnesota Mortuary School. He married Nancy Morton Boyce on December 30, 1990 in Santa Barbara, California. God blessed them with two beautiful children, Kenley Jordan and Gunnar Christian.

David began his professional career in Farmington, Michigan as program director for the YMCA and subsequently worked for 14 years as an executive recruiter in the mortgage industry. David was active in Bible Study Fellowship, a past president of the Spokane Rotary Club 21, and an active member of the Spokane Club. Besides his passion for his family, David loved being out on the water where he felt relaxed and free.
