His Burial will be at the Carrington Cemetery, Carrington, ND. David was born May 5, 1939, to Harold and Lyd Timm in Hutchinson, MN.

After he graduated from high school in 1957, David went to college at Gustavus Adolphus at St. Peters, MN, and then on to the University of Minnesota for Pre-law. The selective service was going to call, so David answered his call to duty and joined the Air Force. He was stationed at the Minot Air Force Base where he served as an air traffic controller. In 1964 David married Claudia Stokes. He was discharged from the military in 1966, after which they moved to Arlington, MN, where he joined his father in the grain elevator business. After the elevator was sold in 1976, they moved to Carrington where he worked for Gerber Industries as a sales representative, as well as a designer of agriculture elevator equipment until he retired. David loved hunting, fishing and music. He was a wonderful musician who toured with his own band in college. His favorite band was Whoopee John, as well as other Big Bands. David would hunt and fish in Canada, MN and ND with his Labrador retrievers. He always had a Labrador for a companion to train, hunt with and enjoy with Claudia. His black labs were most dear to him. David is survived by his wife Claudia, sisters-in-law, Carolyn Geston, Bismarck, ND, Ivy (Bruce) Parizek, Chippewa Falls, WI, and Barb Rathjen, Hazen, ND, and brother-in-law Marlin (Joanne) Stokes, Carrington, ND, and many nieces and nephews.
