Dave was born on July 4, 1946, in Gary, SD, the son of Marvin and Mable Hunt. He was baptized Sunday, July 21, 1946 and confirmed May 15, 1960 at First Lutheran Church in Gary. He loved life growing up on the farm with his two brothers, Darold and Darwin. As a Sunday School teacher, he met his future wife, Brenda, who served as the church organist.
Dave graduated from Gary High School and attended South Dakota State University in Brookings, SD. He was drafted into the United States Army and served his country during the Vietnam War. He was a member of the Wolfhounds and 25th Infantry. Dave was awarded with several medals, Purple Heart (4), Bronze Star (2), Army Commendation Medal, and Combat Infantry Badge. Upon his return from the war, Dave married Brenda Baer on November 22, 1969. Three children were born to this Christian marriage, Jennifer, Jodi, and Chad.
Dave not only served his country, but served his church and family. He loved life as a farmer and continued with that in his spare time, while also working for the airlines in Sioux City and Omaha. He enjoyed spending time with family and friends at their cabin on Lake Cochrane, SD.
