David Breymaier
Feb. 6, 1936-Dec. 11, 2021
David Alan Breymaier, 85, of Fort Recovery, Ohio, passed away on Saturday, Dec.11, 2021, at Van Wert Health in Van Wert, Ohio.
He was born on Feb. 6, 1936, in Fort Recovery, Ohio, to the late David and Mary (Yaeger) Breymaier.
Dave was a 1954 graduate of Fort Recovery High School. After graduation, he joined the United States Army, serving his country honorably. Upon returning to the U.S., Dave attended Wright State University, where he earned his associate’s degree in business. He worked for Reynolds and Reynolds in Celina, Ohio, for 36 years, until his retirement in 1998. When he was not in the office, Dave could be found on his farm tending to his cattle and raising crops.
Family meant the world to Dave; his grandchildren and great grandchildren always lit up his face. He enjoyed spending time with them and watching them grow up. Dave was an avid Fort Recovery sports fan. He attended many games over the years rooting for the Indians. He was a busy body and was always working or helping others in the community. Dave was a devout Christian and an active member of Trinity Lutheran Church in Fort Recovery, where he served in many roles. Dave dedicated his life to serving the church when he could. He was a deacon, occasionally gave sermons, served on church council, taught Sunday School, provided snow removal services and completed building maintenance.
Dave is survived by his wife of 57 years, Bonnie (Parker) Breymaier, whom he married on Aug. 8, 1964; his children, Rhonda (Tom) White of Van Wert and Doug (Brittanny) Breymaier of Fort Recovery; his grandchildren, Austin (fiancé: Jessica Bruggeman) Breymaier of Union City, Indiana, Jordan White of Van Wert, Ohio, Victoria (James) Stiles of Van Wert, Tyler White of Fort Wayne, Indiana, and Tristen Breymaier, Lincoln David Breymaier and Larkyn Breymaier, all of Fort Recovery; his great-grandchildren, Kylynn, David James, Hadley and Wesley; and his sisters, Katherine Sheffer of North Manchester, Indiana, and Charlotte (Von) Redd of Delaware, Ohio.
