David was a humble man with a passion for living. He was a wonderful and loving husband, father, son and friend. David worked at Hallmark Cards for the past 34 years, most recently working as Product Integrity Analyst. David leaves behind many caring friends and co-workers that he considered his 'Hallmark family'. David was an Eagle Scout and he was a music member of choirs in church, high school and college. He enjoyed fishing, golfing and was passionate about the Missouri Tigers, KC Chiefs and KC Royals.

David was preceded in death by his father Bradley. He leaves behind this wife Keri, mother Jean Wheeler, daughter Danielle Yen (James), son Brandon, sister Judy Schaeperkoetter (Mark), brother George, step-sons Charles Karr and Bryan Karr (Renee); grandchildren Lily Yen, Dylan Karr, Jordan Karr and Joseph Karr, best friend David Bollman (Beverly), and many nieces, nephews and cousins.

David's favorite saying was, "I have places to go, things to do and people to see".

David will be greatly missed by everyone whose life he touched.
