David Wingert Obituary

David Mark Wingert passed away on September 26,2024 at Olathe Hospice House. He was born to Clarence & Donna (Johnson) Wingert on December 12, 1955 in Lawrence, KS. He was the eldest child and big brother to Patti (Wingert) Konop and Rhonda (Wingert) Thomsen.

After serving in the Army, David was employed at FMC as well as Farmland/COOP for most of his career.

David wasn't a soul to be tied down in any one place. He most enjoyed living in his 5th wheel camping trailer, moving from various local lakes-most recently Pomona Lake, where our family camped most often when we were kids.

David was preceded in death by his parents, Clarence & Donna, his sister Patti and his soulmate in life, Pam Durazo.

He is survived by his sister Rhonda (Mark) Thomsen, son Daniel (Cassidy) Wohler and grandson Merritt; son Michael Wingert; nephew Cole Brockman--son of Rhonda, niece Kate (Sabrina) Austain-Ragland--daughter of Patti, "Papa's Girl" Raylin, great-niece of Pam Durazo, as well as surviving aunts, uncles and many cousin's that he so enjoyed visiting with whenever possible.
