David R. Karau, 80, of Graeagle, passed away peacefully in his sleep on Feb. 23, 2019.
Dave was born in St. James, Minnesota, served in the Army, attended college in California, built a career as a Regional Sales Manager with NCR Corporation and eventually launched his own successful small business, Far West Systems and Consultants. Dave was a generous, devoted, God-loving community member, family man and friend. He was active in his local church and contributed to the Graeagle community in numerous ways including leading and planning Fourth of July celebrations, organizing political events and helping with activities in the small mountain town. Dave led a life marked by optimism and joy, strong in his faith and fueled by hope … he lived God's love in the world. He would often say, "There is no such thing as a bad day … only degrees of goodness!"
He was preceded in death by his daughter, Jennifer Karau, and sister, Sylvia Perryman.
An interment service will be held March 9 at 1 p.m. at Lakeside Memorial Cemetery, in Folsom. A celebration of life service will be held on April 20 at 11 a.m. at Graeagle Community Church.
