David Gerard McKenzie, 52

David Gerard McKenzie, 52, passed away with family at his side on June 21, 2017. Born in St. Paul, Minn., on Dec. 8, 1964, to Dennis and Zoell McKenzie, the second of identical twins. Dave and Dan were best friends.

He was a father, son, brother and friend. He had a great sense of humor. Dave made it his mission and challenge to make whoever he may have met or talked to that day, laugh. He will be missed by all who knew him.

He was in a close to fatal crash that left him disabled. He tried to warn others by giving speeches about the dangers of drinking and driving at the Idaho State Patrol Victim Panel meetings. He never forgave himself for breaking his promise, to his son, Anthony, to never drink and drive. Dave touched the lives of all those he knew and many lives of those he didn’t know.

He was preceded in death by his father, Dennis and older brother, Ron. He is survived by his son, Anthony; his mother, Zoell; brothers and sisters Greg, Sharon, Dan (Taxmandan), Steve (Kari), Julie and Keith; nephews Marcus and Joshua; niece Kristi Kay; and numerous aunts, uncles, cousins and friends that are considered family.

A memorial Mass will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday, July 8, 2017, at St. George Catholic Church in Post Falls, Idaho. An inurnment will follow at St. Thomas Cemetery in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho.

In lieu of flowers, the family would prefer offerings to help with the final expenses. P.O. Box 385, Post Falls, ID 83877.
