David Dwight Dove
June 3, 1962 - June 6, 2014
Born June 3, 1962 in Honolulu, Hawaii to Tom and Betty Dove, David Dove lost his life in a house fire at 10951 West Reading Road, Reading on June 6, 2014. Along with David, his faithful-to-the-end companion dog, Baron Von Weimaraner, also died.
The delay in the funeral so far past the death date was due to a lengthy examination by the Hillsdale County Medical Examiner, who released his body on July 3, 2014. It seems appropriate to quote here from David's favorite rock group, Led Zeppelin, "In my time of dyin', want nobody to moan. All I want them to do is take my body home." David is now home from his banishment to Toledo, Ohio.
The family will be available for visitation on Thursday, July 10 from 2-4 and again from 6-8 p.m. The funeral will take place in the Eagle Funeral Home-George White Chapel in Reading at 11:00 a.m. on Friday, July 11, 2014 with Reverend Alan Fenstermaker officiating.. Immediately following, David will be laid to rest in the California Corners Cemetery.
Early on, it became obvious David was a gifted child as he was part of a pediatric group to help progress early childhood development as studied at Queen Kapiolani's Children's Hospital in Honolulu. He attended Quincy Schools grades K-8, and then graduated from Camden-Frontier High School in 1980. He also attended Hillsdale College.
David had a lifelong interest in sports, particularly basketball and football, which he played in school. A member of the Arbor Day Society, he developed a hobby of planting trees, and many fine, large trees exist because he felt trees necessary to our survival. Everything David planted seemed to flourish and grow.
David will be remembered as the man behind the counter for nearly thirty years at his store, The Egypt Express in Algansee (Egypt) where his friends would meet. No one remained a stranger to David very long. It became a family joke that David literally gave away everything he owned to others who may not have been
so fortunate. Generosity was his virtue, and it was matched by his painful honesty and tenacity.
Surviving David, besides his loving parents, is his sister, Rachel Dove of Bronson, and his brother, Wesley Dove of Coldwater. Left behind to mourn the loss of their only uncle are his three nephews, Parker Dove, Jonah Dove and Dane Dove. One uncle, James (Sara) Parker of Allen, and two aunts, Helen Parker of Reading and Jeanette Parker of Largo FL survive, as do many cousins and numerous friends. Memorials are suggested to the Arbor Day Foundation.
