Honorary Street Sign - Dave (Dutch) Koehler Blvd.

Home Browse Search

A man of honor Dave stood his ground for right, a man of courage, Dave never shied away from a challenge, a man of commitment Dave met every challenge head on. There were few people that one would meet that met every person where they were, and took each person at face value. Dave was an opportunist, not one to take advantage of anyone, or anything, but using every situation as a learning opportunity. Dave considered himself a realist, an outdoorsman that loved the water. Dave was not a man to sit by, he felt that change came by effecting change, by being change, not by watching. Teaching others without reservation was a way of evening the playing field. Forging relationships was never a problem for Dave, never meeting a stranger, and quick to lend a hand. In summary this request is being made of a man of unselfish nature, giving, sharing, leading, and providing without fail. A lifelong citizen, and servant to the community in which he lived. On behalf of the men, and women of the South Bend fire department, and the citizens of South Bend's second district we thank you for your sonsideration. Sincerely Kenneth Marks
