David Meiners Obituary
David served in the Army National Guard and graduated from Washburn University with a bachelor's degree in business administration.
David retired from the University of Kansas in 2015 after years of dedicated service. He was the rock that grounded his family and the steady hand that guided them through life's adventures. His love for playing cards, coffee, his passion for sports, and his unwavering devotion to his family will be forever remembered.
His strength, wisdom, and love created a legacy that will live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved him. He will be deeply missed, but his memory will continue to shine through the lives he touched.
A memorial gathering will be held from 2:00 pm–4:00 pm Sunday, March 16, 2025 at Rumsey-Yost Funeral Home. To leave a message for David's family, please visit www.Rumsey-Yost.com.

My condolescenes to Daves family. Was friends with Dave since grammar school spending many days together playing baseball with Jim and John, also spending nights at their house in Leavenworth and Topeka. Great guy. Can still remember that little crack in his voice that we all knew and loved him for. Hadn't seen Dave in years. I believe the last time was playing softball in Lawrence. A lot of good memories.
