David's life began Nov. 1, 1956, in Little Rock, Ark., where his father was stationed in the U.S. Air Force. He spent most of his life in Southwest Michigan, growing up first in Coloma, and then in South Haven. He returned to Coloma to live permanently where he worked for Premier Tool & Die. He also farmed fruit and vegetables. Not only did farming provide an income, but David also considered it a hobby, along with his lifelong passion for fishing. His greatest joy came in spending time with his family, especially his granddaughters.

David leaves behind a loving family to cherish his memory, which includes: his wife of 41 years, Tammy Heuermann; daughter, Hannah Heuermann; two granddaughters, Abigail Schmidt and Delilah Heuermann; his dad, Herman Heuermann; four siblings, Diane (Jeff) Landry, Richard Heuermann, Robert (Julie) Heuermann and Sue (Mike) Borr; and several nieces and nephews.

His mom, Esther (Scheffler) Heuermann, precedes David in death.
