David “Dave” Lee Moschke, 57, passed away unexpectedly January 7, 2025. He was born in Sturgis, Michigan, June 5, 1967, the son of Duane Sr. and Flo (Slagle) Moschke.

Dave was a passionate sports fan, always cheering for his beloved hometown teams in Detroit—whether it was the Lions, Tigers, or Pistons. He had the chance to attend a game for each of them, and the experience brought him so much joy. Music was another big part of Dave's life. He could easily name the members of his favorite bands and often shared his love for them with others. He even created a report with a few of his musical inspirations, and at one point, worked on the road as a bouncer for a band. For his birthday one year, he was pulled up on stage by a band he considered friends, and they and the crowd sang him Happy Birthday.

What truly set Dave apart was his incredible sense of humor. He had a gift for making everyone around him laugh, always striving to keep smiles on the faces of those he loved. He infused his humor and warmth into everything he did, including his work at Walmart. As a member of the electronics department, Dave was known for his computer expertise. When it came to tech questions, his family always turned to him, knowing he'd have the answer.

Dave is survived by his father, Duane, Sr; aunts, uncles and cousins. 

He was preceded in death by his mother, Flo; brother, Duane “Will” Moschke Jr.; cousin, Jerry Keeler; and uncle, Gordon Moschke.

Memorial services will be held at 11:00 AM, Wednesday January 15, 2025, at Harris Funeral Home, 267 North Michigan Avenue, Shelby MI 49455. A visitation will be held one hour prior to services at the funeral home.
