David was born Jan. 14, 1949, at Mercy Hospital, Cedar Rapids, to parents Harriet Mae Holland and David Richard Pickart of Norway. He married Debra Haage and they had one son, Dustin. The couple later divorced. Dave worked for the Leo Kelly Co. and Farmstead and farmed for Don Newton for many years. He loved working the land in the spring and fall, still doing so up until his death. Dave enjoyed working on cars, he especially liked riding his Harley. He actually built a motorcycle and received first place trophies with it.
Dave is survived by his son, Dustin (Robin) Pickart of Iowa City; his beloved mother, Harriet Pickart of Amana; a sister, Lori (Steve) Davis of Texas; four brothers, Gerald of Marengo, Bruce (Liz) of Missouri, Terry of Norway and Mark (Regina) of Tennessee; and many aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and cousins. Also surviving him are a vast number of friends who meant the world to Dave. He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.
He was preceded in death by his dad, David R Pickart; his grandparents on both sides; and many aunts, uncles and other relatives.
May God Bless you on your last ride.
