Dave was born in Seattle to Ronald and Joyce Buck. Dave was a 1980 graduate of Nathan Hale H.S. and graduated with an A.A. in Forestry from Shoreline C.C. While attending Shoreline C.C. he worked summers fighting fires for the Department of Natural Resources and flew in Cessna 172 planes spotting forest fires. In 1988 he graduated as a Technical Drafter from the Lake Washington Vocational Technical College. He then began his rewarding 30 year career at Boeing as a drafter. He was often part of the team creating designs for new airplanes.
Dave's favorite times were spent in the outdoors. He loved hiking, biking, camping, razor clam digging, snowshoeing, taking road trips, game nights, and spending time with family and friends. Some of his favorite places included Kalaloch, Napili Kai, Mt. Rainier, Mountain Loop Highway, The Grand Tetons, Acadia National Park, and Yosemite. Dave was happiest when going on new adventures while exploring the great outdoors. He was a loving husband & father and especially enjoyed his time as "Papa" to his 3 grandchildren.
