David Paul Haas, age 43, passed away on Wednesday, Jan. 18, 2006, at his home, exactly the way he wanted it. His courageousness in death was only met by his strength, his devotion and love he lived his life with. The constant parade of friends and family in these last days is proof of his character and the vast number of lives he touched. He was an outstanding father who dedicated his life to his boys. David was born on Nov. 13, 1962, in Plain, the son of Paul and Helene (Bladl) Haas. He graduated from River Valley High School in 1982. David loved his job as a painter and worked for Klein Dickert from 1985 until 2005. He enjoyed people and was the perfect friend. David loved to go hiking and biking around the lake with his boys. His battle with cancer will be a pillar of strength for all who love him. In addition to his parents, David is survived by his sons, Richie and Mikey, and their mother, Chris Haas; his sisters, Kathy (Gary) Hack, Karen Hilsenhoff, Barb (Bruce) Rideout and Betty (Rick) Onofrey; a brother, Dan (Jan) Haas; mother-in-law, Lynn (Ralph) Stevens; father-in-law, Mike (Sandy) McConnell; two brothers-in-law, Pat (Jenny) McConnell and Sean (Teena) McConnell; nieces and nephews, Tara, Mandy, Derek, Caitlin, Danielle, and Jerome; aunts; uncles; cousins; and all his lifelong friends.
