Dave was a member of St. John Lutheran Church in Luverne his entire life. He served as an elder for a number of years, served on the board of education for 12 years, on various committees, drove the church bus for 20 years from 1979 to 1999, head usher for both services for 15 years, and coached the St. John baseball team from 1979 to 1992. Dave's greatest joy was his wife, children and grandchildren. He loved working on any kind of project as long as he was working! Playing cards with his family was one of his favorite things to do. Playing bean bags, sitting at the lake, fishing, and helping anyone in need were other pleasures he enjoyed. Dave was a "company man" as well, giving 100% all the time. He never left out his co-workers, looking out for them daily, making sure they were safe and well. He was well known for donating his vacation time to any employee in need of additional time for health or bereavement. Kids held a special place in his heart. He would always make time for children whether it was playing games, wrestling, or spoiling them with treats. Dave was a man of honesty, integrity, generosity, faith, dedication and a strong work ethic. He was very well known to his family for being late, due to his generous heart and dedication to help others in need. He fought the good fight, he finished the race, he kept the faith.
Dave is lovingly remembered by his wife, Shirley of Luverne; children, Paul (Rebecca) Huiskes of Luverne, Amy (Matthew) Lee of Sauk Rapids, Minnesota, and Mark (Jacqueline) Huiskes of Shakopee, Minnesota; and 10 grandchildren, Kayetlin, Addison and Emmery Huiskes, Christian, Jordyn, Mya and Jaxon Lee, Sydney, Samantha and Ryan Huiskes; siblings, Dianna (Glen) Malmquist of Luverne, Darla (Keith) Schmuck of Luverne, Donna (Lon) Remme of Luverne, Marcia (Don) Bork of Beaver Creek, Jim (Mary) Huiskes of Northfield, Minnesota, Dawn (Dan) DeWispelaere of Luverne and Kathy (Jeff) Wilsey of Sioux Falls, South Dakota; sister-in-law, Anna Mae Huiskes of Luverne; and many nieces, nephews, family, and numerous friends.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Alvin and Dorthea Huiskes; and brother, Darrel Huiskes.
