When Dave was born, he weighed 10 pounds and 11 ounces and was the youngest of ten brothers and sisters. As a child, Dave went 13 straight years of never missing Sunday school.

And soon after, married Jaqueline Ann \u2018Gebhart\u2019 Moffett on September 1, 1963, in Mattoon, IL.<br \/>\nDave was an avid family man. He never missed a game or event for any of his children or grandchildren. Dave was always cheering on his family, no matter the sport or season, enjoying a bag of concession stand popcorn. Dave was also an avid church goer from the time he was a child. He was a member of Grace Lutheran Church in Strasburg, IL, before passing.<\/p>\n<p>Dave was preceded in death by his parents; brothers, Don Moffett, Wayne Moffett, Dwight Moffett, and Thomas Moffett; as well as his sisters, Illeana Yeager, Barbara Wiley, Luella Moffett, and Julia Shasteen.<\/p>\n<p>Dave is survived by his wife, Jacqueline; brother, John Moffett (wife Diana Moffett): two daughters, Michelle \u2018Moffett\u2019 Smith (husband Craig Smith) and Dena \u2018Moffett\u2019 Cearlock (husband Tracy \u2018Biz\u2019 Cearlock); his five grandchildren, Tyler Smith, Brenna Smith (husband Dalton McGee), Connor Haaksmith (wife Hannah Haaksmith), Austin Cearlock, and Jensen Cearlock (Nathan Callaway); as well as his only great grandchild, Harper Haaksmith.<\/p>\n<p>Dave\u2019s services will be at the Grace Lutheran Church, 109 Locust Street, Strasburg, IL, 62465, on Tuesday, June 30, 2026, starting with a visitation at 10:00 am, a funeral service at 11:00 am and a lunch to follow at Grace Lutheran Church.
