Shirk and together they raised four sons, Jesse, Jordan, Jacob, and John Adam. Dave, along with his youngest son, owned and operated Trunk’s Heating and Air, HVAC Service. Dave had a passion for the outdoors; he especially loved camping, kayaking, and hiking. He was also an avid music lover with a beautiful singing voice and the ability to play a variety of instruments. Dave was known and loved for his sense of humor, his infectious smile, and his kind and compassionate spirit. He was devoted to his wife and sons and supported them unconditionally. Above all else, Dave was a man of strong faith, believing in the power and strength of Jesus Christ’s love and the beauty and peace that would await him after his passing. Dave was preceded in death by his father, George, his sister, Pam Shenk, and his sister-in-law, Pam Trunk. He is survived by his mother, his wife, his sons and their families, his 10 grandchildren, Liam, Lilly, Landen, Isabella, Julian, Levi, Evelyn, Olivia, Max, and Lydia, his sister Pat and brother George, and many cousins, nieces, and nephews.
