Raymond "David" Jewison, 73 of Rochester, MN died suddenly of natural causes while cross-country skiing on January 30, 2021.

Dave was born on February 25, 1947 in Minneapolis, MN to Raymond Joseph and Mildred (McGonagle) Jewison. He graduated from Loyola High School, Mankato, MN in 1965. He then graduated from St. Mary's College in Winona, MN in 1969. He began teaching at Lourdes High School in Rochester that year. On June 24, 1978 he married Mary Pat Trauscht at Church of St. Pius X in Rochester. Together, the couple made Rochester their home and raised three boys. During his time at Lourdes High School, he obtained his Masters Degree in Educational Counseling. He retired after over 45 years. Family came first, and he always put them first. He was a longtime member of Church of St. Pius X. Dave absolutely loved teaching and coaching. His heart belonged to the Lourdes community, every part of it from the students and fellow faculty, to the entire local Catholic community. In his spare time, he could be found with his family fishing, camping, biking, skiing, running, and cheering on the MN Gophers and Vikings.

He is survived by his wife Mary Pat of Rochester, sons David (Angela) of Minneapolis, MN, Michael (Anne) of Medina, MN, Patrick (Kyunga) of Busan, South Korea; his sisters Mary Jewison of Mankato, MN, Sharon Fowler of Eau Claire, WI, Colleen (Gary) Walters of Eagle Lake, MN; his grandchildren Megan, Matthew, Emily, Luna; numerous nieces and nephews, and his grand-dogs Emmett, Roscoe, and Sofie.

He is preceded in death by his parents and his brother-in-law Russ.
