David Allen Herr

David graduated from North Side High School and went on to earn a business degree from the University of St. Francis, followed by an MBA from Northern Kentucky University.

He began his career at Navistar before joining GE Aircraft and later BAE Systems, where he rose to the position of Executive Vice President. After leaving BAE, David served as CEO of Morbark LLC and CEO of RTC Aerospace under Stellex Capital Management. He also served on the boards of MHI Holdings, Morbark LLC, and RTC Aerospace.

David had a lifelong love of sports and competition. He enjoyed playing baseball and basketball with friends and co-workers and was an avid fan of Komet hockey. He loved boating, golf, and poker nights with close friends.

He was preceded in death by his parents, William and Katherine (Morris) Herr.

He is survived by two nephews, several cousins, many friends, colleagues, golf partners, and card buddies.

In accordance with David’s wishes, there will be no formal services. A celebration of life will be held at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Boys and Girls Clubs of Fort Wayne.
