David William Toensing

David William Toensing, 75, of Yuma, AZ, passed away on February 20, 2019, at home. Dave was born in St. Louis, MO on October 3, 1943, to Herbert and Mildred Toensing. He and his sister, Lynette, attended Concordia University in Seward, NE. He was a Lutheran school teacher, choir director, and organist for 40+ years. He taught in St. Louis, MO, Montebello, CA and Yuma, AZ. He was a sports enthusiast, history buff, western movie watcher, and classical music aficionado. He loved the St. Louis Cardinals as much as his own children. When not teaching or playing the organ, you could find Dave watching baseball, football, or hockey while wearing a St. Louis Cardinals t-shirt and yelling at the TV in excitement (or frustration).

He is survived by his children; Brett (Anne-Marie), Noelle (Brian), Mark; and grandchildren; Alex, Megan, Brooke and Ryan
