I was so sad to hear of Dave’s passing. In the almost 30 years I’ve known him, he always had a smile, a laugh and that “Dave Siver laid back style.” You, my friend, will be missed by everyone who ever met you. Sending love hugs and prayers to Jan and all the family.
I am saddened to hear to Dave’s passing. I always admired his laid back style. Thoughts and prayers to his family and friends.
My condolences to the Siver family.
Dave had a great sense of humor! Especially the time at a (Pep rally) at Lincoln High school. Valentine’s day, he came out in front of everyone dressed like Cupid on the gymnasium floor. We laughed out butt off!
Our family is very sad to hear of Dave’s passing. We have known him for over 35 years and although we didn’t see each often our paths crossed many ways. Kenny met and worked with Dave at hawkeye transport then Jack b Kelly. Our children all went to school together. Then wesley drove truck at randolph along with Dave. We enjoyed the get together at Gwen’s with ferrel gates. And the fall get together at Roger Howes. Dave was always great to visit with, whether about trucking or farming. He definitely was a character and good person to call friend. Will be greatly missed. Our sympathy to jan, Trevor, and tressia and family.
Q: What will you miss most about David?
A: His smile he was the Gentle giant he was always so calm he never got excited about anything and he was always laughing
