David Henry Ask, named after both grandfathers, was born July 6, 1946, to Myran and Lucile Ask in Lanesboro, Minn. He died April 15, 2018, after an almost two-year battle with brain cancer.
Dave attended Durkin Elementary. He was attached to VP-24 homeported in Norfolk, Va., and honorably discharged from the Navy. Upon returning home, Dave worked for Honeywell in Hopkins. He met and married Evon Marie Favre, his wife of 48 years. Dave worked construction, farmed, worked for Jerome Foods and Shattuck St. Mary’s until he retired.
Dave loved his family most of all, especially time with his two grandchildren, Reanna and Gabriel, fishing, golfing, tractor shows, and being with friends and neighbors.
Dave will be remembered for his humor, his teasing, his knack for being able to talk to anyone, knowing someone everywhere he went, being very observant of the fine details, and always willing to help others. His love and laughter will be greatly missed.
Dave is survived by his wife Evon, a daughter Sara, (Norine) also of Lanesboro, sister-in-law and brother-in-law Ginny and Jerry Robicheau, brother-in-law Donald Mackenthun, sister-in-law Joni Favre, and many nieces, nephews, great-nieces and great nephews.
