Dave was born September 3, 1957, in Aitkin, the son of Alvin and Norma (Thomas) Havisto.  Following his education, Dave went to work.  He was a machinist for Nor-Tech for almost 20 years.  He was a loving, sentimental man who adored his family.  He enjoyed teaching his children how to fish, shooting a game of Horse with them, and getting a good hand in 500.  The family spent a lot of time at Washburn Lake Campground near Remer.  Dave could always count on his Wanda to fulfill his sweet-tooth cravings.

He is loved and will be missed by his wife of 41 years, Wanda; children, Ruth Rathman, Laura Boyer, and Paul Richards; grandchildren, Aaron and David Boyer, Chantelle Miller, Rebeccah Richards, Nathan Richards, Evan Richards, Jacob McDonald, Taylor Hansen, and Austin Bennett; five great-grandchildren; brother, Bob (Judy) Havisto; and many nieces and nephews.  He was preceded in death by his parents; brother, Bucky; and sister, Joanne.
