David Jacob Eszlinger was born May 21, 1958 in Ashley North Dakota. He was the son of Jacob and Emma (Frankfurth) Eszlinger. Dave grew up on the family farm near Ashley and later farmed nearby. In 1977 he graduated from the Ashley High School. While he was in school and after high school, he was a certified Ford mechanic and employed at Fey, Inc. He was also a brand inspector and chemical applicator.
On May 28, 1982 Dave married the love of his life, Patty Gross, in Wishek North Dakota. To this union, 3 daughters were born. Following their marriage they continued to farm near Ashley. In 1997 they moved to Belle Fourche where Dave was employed at Motive Parts and the Butte County Highway Department. In 2003 he accepted a position for the City of Belle Fourche, as Supervisor of Parks and Cemeteries.
Dave was a very special husband and father. He loved spending time with his family. He loved to have fun and to laugh and joke. There were many happy times spent with Dave that will be remembered. He loved his horses, especially his gelding named "Smokey". That was a special horse that only he could ride. Dave liked riding his motorcycle as well and he enjoyed rebuilding motors, and pond building as well. Most of all, he just liked being "Dad". He loved his girls and protected them well. Dave was special and will be greatly missed and forever loved.
Dave is survived by his wife, Patty of Belle Fourche; 3 daughters, Jodi, Stefani, and Kari all of Belle Fourche; 2 sisters, Ermalene (Scott) Schlepp and Eva (Randy) Becker both of Ashley ND; and several nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his parents; and sister Gloria Eszlinger.
May God Bless the Memory of Dave Eszlinger.
