David Ray Heller, 56, of Stewartville, MN, went home to be with the Lord on December 8, 2015 from injuries sustained in an automobile accident.

David was born in Littitz, PA to Eugene and Ruth (Krall) Heller on November 26, 1959. He is survived by his wife of 30 years Judi Heller, four children, Keith (Gina) Hawk, Lynn (Neil) Montague, Amanda (Andrew) Walston, and Emily (Christian) Holter, seven grandchildren and one great grandchild; two brothers and three sisters. His parents preceded him in death.

David grew up on a dairy farm in Pennsylvania and later crop farmed several years with his father near Racine, MN. He spent twenty years selling insurance and ten years as a cab driver, during which he enjoyed meeting new people. His recent employment as an aerial farm photography salesman combined his love of farming and of sales. However, David's greatest enjoyment came from camping, traveling, and spending time with his wife, children, grandchildren and his dog, Gracie. A big grin would often light his face, displaying his mischievous sense of humor and competitiveness as he took delight in family games (especially checkers and squirt gun fights).

On Friday, December 11, there will be a will be a time of worship and celebration of David's life at Oak Hills Wesleyan Church in Rochester at 7:00pm.

The funeral will take place at 11:00am on Saturday, December 12 at Macken Funeral Home River Park Chapel in Rochester, with visitation beginning at 10:00am.
