Long time farmer and truck driver, most currently for Pfister Transport of New Holstein, David G. Evenson "went to meet Jesus" on Sunday, September 27, 2020 on his 40 ^th wedding anniversary.

Strong in their faith, he and his wife Bonnie raised five sons and one daughter and have been blessed with 15 grandchildren (so far), his pride and glory.  A humble, reliable, helpful guy, David was a hard worker, talented mechanic, history buff, and a wicked sheepshead player!  His sense of humor warmed many a friend, and he was willing to help anyone who needed an attentive ear, a strong shoulder, or a helping hand.  His heart was bigger than he was and that heart finally gave out.  He touched the lives of many people and will be missed greatly, leaving a prized legacy.

He is survived by his wife Bonnie, six children, Frederick (Emily) Evenson, Hortonville, Sarah Evenson, Sturgeon Bay, Ben (Erica) Evenson, Wrightstown, Mark Evenson, Wrightstown, Jeff (Kayla) Evenson, Reedsville, and Keith (Ashley) Evenson, Lark; 15 grandchildren, Liam, Baya, Remington, Arabella, Braxton, Ayla, Raina, Ayden, KK, Elijah, Ivy, Tenley, Carson, River, and Leighton.
