David W. Wilson, 62, of Idaho Falls, died July 3, 2005, at his home.

He was born December 30, 1942, in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, to Leo W. Wilson and Phyllis M. Lenway Wilson. In 1960, he graduated from Washington High School. He attended Waldorf College in Forest City, Iowa. He worked as a draftsman for Amana Refrigeration in Cedar Rapids.

In 1963, he married Jolene Deerberg of Lowden, Iowa, and they had one daughter, Andrea. They were later divorced. They moved to Bettendorf, Iowa, where he was a broker for Pet Foods before joining Idaho Fresh-Pak. He was transferred to Minneapolis and later to Idaho Falls. David also worked with Blaine Larsen Farms and was part-owner of Mountain River Produce. Most recently, he was a realtor with Voigt Davis Realty in Idaho Falls.

David was an avid supporter of the Arts in Idaho Falls. He was past president of the Idaho Falls Symphony Board, a member of the U.S. Tennis Association and the Red Cross. He was currently serving as the president of the Idaho Falls Zoological Board.

Although David was often working, entertaining friends or caring for Hannah, the dog he and Pat shared, he loved the outdoors and could be found on the golf course, on the tennis court, or fly-fishing on the Snake River. He had a passion for cooking, a love of photography and secretly enjoyed playing the guitar. David will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved him.
