David L. Greevers

Dave Greevers, of Milwaukee, WI, reunited with his beloved wife Barbara (d. 2009) and son Christopher (d. 1969) on October 26, 2024 – three weeks late for his 56th wedding anniversary, but Barbara won’t mind. Missing his presence here on Earth are daughter Kristin; grandsons David and Daniel; son-in-law Richard; brother James; sisters-in-law Joanne (Chuck), Kathleen, and Colleen; brothers-in-law Michael and Thomas; nieces Jill, Jennifer, and Anita; nephew Michael (Beth); great-nephews James III, Ryan, and Brayden; great-niece Mila; and many other relatives and friends.

Dave grew up in an Air Force family, moving throughout the United States and attending college in Maine before settling down in Milwaukee when he and Barbara were married. He first owned a television sales and service store and later had a long career as the audiovisual center supervisor at Nicolet High School. In his free time, he loved reading, watching movies, and being outdoors, and often recalled pleasant memories of camping, first with his parents and siblings and later with his wife. For many years, he was a frequent visitor to the South Shore fishing pier and enjoyed annual fishing trips up north with his father and brother.

Dave was a loving and involved father and was never too busy to spend time with his daughter, whether it was driving around her Girl Scout troop, watching countless dance recitals and school plays, or discussing books they both loved. This supportive spirit continued when he became a grandfather; after his retirement, Dave operated Grandpa’s Taxi Service, with pick-ups at after-school care and summer day camp and drop-offs at the boys’ earliest baseball and soccer games. He also supervised many zoo outings and mini-golf adventures. He was proud of his daughter no matter what, and in recent years took even greater pride in hearing that his grandsons chose to work in and study healthcare, just like their grandmother.

Dave was also preceded in death by his parents Sigmund and Florence; parents-in-law Harold and Marie; sisters Marjorie and Carol; sister-in-law Pauline; brother-in-law Andrew; nephew James Jr.; cousin Andrew; and other dear aunts, uncles, and cousins. The family wishes to thank the ER staff at Aurora St. Luke’s Hospital for their support as Dave went to greet these loved ones.
