Dave leaves two children, Johnathon (Emily) Held and Leah Nagel; his two granddaughters, whom he adored, Nalayna and Zophia; his companion of over a decade, Lori Boob; his siblings, Donald Held, Melinda Schultz, and Frank Held; and his father, Otha Kennedy to cherish his memory.
He was preceded in death by his mother.
A private celebration of life will be held at a later date.
