David Lee Back, was born July 8, 1955, in Mason City, Iowa to Lynford and
Carmen (Kluckhohn) Back. He grew up in the Klemme where he was baptized
and confirmed at the United Church of Christ in Klemme. He attended Klemme
Community Schools, graduating from Klemme High School in the class of
1973. David was very active in the extra-curricular activities of the
school participating in track, football, basketball and baseball.
Following high school David was employed with Clear Lake Paint and Repair
for 18 years doing water tower painting, maintenance and repair. In 1988,
he opened a restaurant tavern in Klemme called "106 West Main"; where he
helped host the Klemme Centennial. He later went on to be a car salesman
in the Des Moines area for Dewey Ford, then did painting, before working
for a number of years for Blattner Energy Corp, where he retired from in
2013.
Dave was united in marriage to Denise Hayungs, Jan. 20, 1990, at the
Little Brown Church, Nashua, IA. Soon after they moved to Des Moines, IA,
where their son Dakota Back, was born on March 18, 1994.
Dave loved "keeping in the know" about politics and was a die hard sports
fanatic! Especially the Iowa verses Iowa State games. But nothing made him
happier than his family. Especially his grandchildren and great nieces and
nephews. Keeping up on their lives was important. He loved nothing more
than gathering with family and friends over a good bar-b-q , tossing some
bags and drinking a few beers. Dave enjoyed taking his son fishing, and
watching sports with him and was looking forward to the Hawks Bowl game on
Friday. He loved burning, was an excellent cook, loved time spent in the
presence of his family and friends and had a great knack for selling and
had used this gift in selling cars and steaks over the years. He loved to
cook breakfast for his grandson and always loved to tease. He had a great
wit and unique sense of humor and was always full of "life advice". He was
always willing to lend a hand to those who needed one.
Dave is survived by his son Dakota (Brittney) and their children Daren (9)
and Jayde Back (1 1/2); sister Roxanne (Daryl) Brager, Coralville, IA;
nieces Tracy, Tammy, and Kjerstin and nephew David Lee Back. He was
preceded in death by grandparents Herman Back and Flora (Kern) Back, his
parents, brother Joel Back, and niece Jody Lyn in her childhood.
