David C. Hewitt, age 77, passed away at home on December 18, 2023 after a long battle with prostate cancer. He was born on February 1, 1946 to George and Mary (Pape) Hewitt. He married Patricia (Schultz) Hewitt on October 7, 1996.

Dave served in the army and was stationed in Viet Nam for more than a year. He was a carpenter by trade. He also owned the Corner Bar (Hoopsnakes) off and on for almost 40 years. Dave enjoyed gardening, yard work and remodeling. It took him some time to get used to the many children, grandchildren and great- grandchildren that came with his marriage to Pat but he eventually got used to the large family gatherings and was known to the grandchildren as “Papa Dave”.

He is survived by his wife, Patricia; two brothers, Bob (Connie) Hewitt and Mike (Patti) Hewitt. He is also survived by four nieces and nephews, Jeff(Jodi) Hewitt, Joe (Lori) Hewitt, Debbie Beiser and Sherri (Mike) Holt; two step children John (Kari) Gruenenfelder and Jana (fiancée Todd Anderson) Gruenenfelder; seven step grandchildren and 16 step great grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his brother Donald Hewitt, his parents a nephew Jim Hewitt and his niece’s husband Eric Beisber.

Dave requested that no visitation be held but he said to hold a celebration of life in the spring.

I’d like to thank Heartland Hospice for their dedicated help. Also many thanks to my friend Sue Dolphin, my son John and my daughter Jana. I was truly blessed to have had such support during this difficult time.
